Jim Bono - Sidney Poiter

I chose Sidney Poiter to play the part of Bono, selecting the time he played in the 1990s, matching the age similarities to the character in Fences. His character reflects a man with words of wisdom, who gives advice to his best friend, Troy, and tries to stray him away from doing bad. He cares about Troy and his actions, and tries to stray him away from his bad actions, such as his affair. Bono practically portrays the angel on Troy’s shoulder, who is a close friend, trying to make him do good. I can picture Sidney Poiter having the role of this character. His accent can definitely match up to Bono’s speech.
