Opening Day-Jackie Robinson

If I were to produce a movie about Opening Day The Story of Jackie Robinson's First Season, the actors I would include would be Will Smith as Jackie Robinson. Will Smith is an incredible actor and would be the best possible fit for Jackie. Will Smith is an inspirational actor in all of his major acting movies. To me Will Smith has changed the acting world with his breath taking acting in his latest movies. Smith fits this role because he too has changed the acting world as did Jackie Robinson when he broke the racial barrier. There are not many other main characters throughout this book about Jackie Robinson. I truly believe that Jackie Robinson would best be played by Will Smith because Will Smith can do any kind of acting. His work and determination to make everything perfect is something Jackie Robinson strived for. Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier by joining a Major League Baseball team. The supporting class of actors would consist of Billy Bob Thornton, who would play Branch Rickey the Dodgers Owner at the time. Billy Bob Thornton would play this in my movie because he is a funny guy who at times can just make one hell of a movie. Branch Rickey wanted to break the color barrier more than many people and I believe Billy Bob Thornton would do the same. Branch Rickey went out looking for the right player to break the color barrier and he found his true star with Jackie. Will Smith and Billy Bob Thornton would play the two main characters in my movie because they both exemplify the true qualities I believe Jackie Robinson and Branch Rickey believed in.
