At left are the results of Page 2's poll to determine whom you thought should portray Richard Williams.

Samuel L. Jackson

Who plays an overly intense bad ass better?
Ryan Woods, Westlake Village, Calif.

Delroy Lindo

He's a stellar actor able to capture the dynamic "mad scientist" personality of Mr. Williams, plus through the magic of Hollywood makeup, would look exactly like him.
Foley Park, Vallejo, Calif.

Morgan Freeman

He's the best actor out there. He can play Mr. Williams' bravado and passion, while still showing his incredible love and support for his daughters.
Tony Cuen, New York

Danny Glover

Only an actor as skilled as Glover could portray the numerous dysfuntional underpinnings of William's psyche with believability.
Bobby E., Washington

Ike Turner

You need a "take no crap" kind of guy to play this role, even if both their lines of thinking are more twisted than a crazy straw.
Christopher Thelen, Gurnee, Ill.
