He is being considered for the role of raunchy comedian Redd Foxx.<\/p>\n<p>Foxx found fame playing the hilariously cantankerous troublemaker with mischievous tendencies on the hit comedy Sanford and Son, which ran from 1972 to 1977. He was also known for his less than civil comedic streak and Morgan will undoubtedly rise to the occasion since he is also known to push all the wrong buttons for the sake of a hearty laugh.<\/p>\n<p>So far the cast list is shaping up nicely with Kate Hudson securing the role of Pryor\u2019s wife, Taraji P. Henson nabbing the role opposite Eddie Murphy as they both portray the parents of the late esteemed comedian and actor. And even Oprah gets in on the action \u2013 playing Pryor\u2019s grandmother \u2013 who played a fundamental part in his upbringing.<\/p>\n<p>Daniels definitely likes to keep it all in the family. Morgan seems to be humbled at the opportunity to bring Redd Foxx back to life and expressed that in a statement, \u201cMr. Foxx, I hope I do you justice!\u201d \u201cIt will be an honor to portray an icon\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>We are confident that Morgan will bypass all expectations. We are definitely stalking this project to completion!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tracy Morgan is certainly on the right track after a year of devastating blows stemming from a tragic car accident [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1,38,6],"tags":[172,1996,1131,1529,2500,2501,747,2324],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.3 -
