Mike Epps Cast as Richard Pryor


Back in 2009 Mike Epps and Richard Pryor's wife got into a very nasty very public fight after she replaced Mike Epps with Marlon Wayans in a planned Richard Pryor bio-pic [click here if you missed that].

Welp, Mike is finally getting his chance to play the comedy king...

Mike Epps has been cast as Richard Pryor in the Nina Simone bio-pic.

Richard Pryor toured with the jazz great during the 60s.

Zoe Saldana has been cast as Nina Simone.
