And whats crazy is according Will Smith if he didn't turn it down they were going to hire Val Kilmer as Morpheus (cause you know Hollywood wasn't about casting two major black stars much in the same movie)

Val Kilmer as morpheus would have been horrible...:mjlol::laff:

It's hard when you're an actor on the rise, you gotta have a 3rd eye and sixth sense when choosing movie roles. Because one or two bombs can sink your career. And you can get type cast as a supporting actor, when you are trying to becoming a leading man. Especially as a BLACK ACTOR you have to be careful how you choose.

I understand why Fishburne turned it down. Just like I understand why Will turned down the Matrix, that movie was a risk.
