It appears that actor Don Johnson who shot to fame starring in the original TV series Miami Vice is not that impressed with the casting of Colin Farrell to play his role in the movie Miami Vice that opened #1.  Here is Farrell’s response when asked if he talked to Johnson about playing his role.

I tried but he never returned my call. But Jamie met him at a restaurant in LA and Don said: ‘You tell Colin Farrell, when he’s through with my jockstrap to give it back.’ And I never got the jockstrap either. I was waiting every day by the post box.

I think I just became a Don Johnson fan.

Jamie Foxx seems to think that rapper/producer Diddy (P.Diddy, Puff Daddy, Sean Combs) and Denzel Washington would make great candidates to be the first black James Bond. 

Foxx says, “Bond has got to come on up, man. They’ve got to get with the times. It needs oomph right now. “Diddy would have made a good Bond. “I tell you who would have made a great Bond about eight years ago: Denzel Washington. He was doing THE PELICAN BRIEF, PHILADELPHIA. I’m sitting in some awards show (I snuck in) and I write, ‘Do you ever think about playing James Bond?’ on a napkin, walked over and handed it to him. I don’t know if he ever read it.”
