Actors who Portray Tempts

We all know Leon did a wonderful job portray DER. Did any other actors portrayed Eddie, Paul, O, and Melvin to their personalities?

When you watched Temptations did actors made you think about the members of the group or did you find yourself talking back to the television. For example; Otis stepping up to David (I know this did not happen man was scare of David).

Did the actors who played fione members of tempts (exclude O) do their research or did they pick up a paycheck.

The character who played O knew his part was a lied. I bet the man said boy I can’t believe this sh**t.

QNDF when I watched the mini-series I got caught up in it. The characters IMO played their Temptation very well. It was obvious to me that the individual actors did their research. LOL!LOL! The actor's that played Otis and Melvin were much better looking then the men they portrayed. But I could see Otis and Melvin in their performances. The actor that played Otis was also a better dancer He didn't miss one step.

I thought that I was the only one to notice that the actors that played O and M looked waaaay better than the actuals. You know it's funny that the poor guy,CM, that played O was not favored by the fans because he played O. That's bad. But let's face it, who came to see O? He wished he could work it like D. The only reason he probably ever got some was because of E, D, and P's status. You know, some groupies settle for what they can get...even if it means O (yuck). If I were even born back then, I would have tried to holla at D or E, not O. If O was the last choice, I would have said "oh, well." TB did a great job at portraying E, CP did great as P, and as you know, Leon went all out to portray Mr. Ruffin The actor that portrayed M was sweet, even though I read that M always agreed with O.

I agree with der. I found myself reliving those days through the movie. I think all the actors did a great job. The actor that played Eddie captured his facial expressions while singing,and Paul's character had Paul William like moves. The people that did the casting IMO did a good job.LOL!LOL! der you're right the actor that played O did dance a lot better then the Greazy one.LOL!LOL!
