In short, some suggest that her physical appearance sets limitations on if she can nail the role. Nonetheless, this week, she was potted on set in Los Angeles, rocking an afro and heavy make-up.

    There is actually a *slight* resemblance. I hate when they darken or lighten skin for a role, though. It’s annoying.

  2. THE GOODS says:

    They could’ve actually gotten Lauryn Hill to play the role. And her dark demeanor would’ve been perfect! I’m just saying…

    or Jen Hud, then she could have done all the singing

    I honestly just don’t think Zoe is that good of an actress. We shall see though
