JAMIE FOXX ----- GRABRIEL'S ROLE






       I have selected Jamie Foxx to represent the role of Gabriel. Jamie Foxx is a American actor, singer, stand-up comedian and talk radio host that I believe will perform very well in the role of Gabriel. Gabriel is Troy's brother and seven years younger than Troy. He has a metal plate in his head after an injure in World War II, reason why he often thinks he is not a person but the Archangel Gabriel who opens the gates of heaven with his trumpet for Saint Peters on Judgement Day. In addition, because of the physical damage and his service in World War II, Gabriel receives checks from the government that Troy used in part to buy the Maxson's home where the play takes place. Gabriel wanders around the Maxson family's neighborhood carrying a basket with an assortment of discarded fruits and vegetables and singing with a trumpet tied around his waist.  
Gabriel singing..... (1119)
Yes, ma'am, I got plums
You ask me how I sell them
Oh ten cents apiece
Three for a quarter
Come and buy now
'cause I'm here today
And tomorrow I'll be gone.
