If they made a "the Jeffersons" movie (more than likely they will in the distant future, knowing Hollywood), who would you like to see as the characters? Here is my cast list of those who I think in my opinion would be great in the roles:

GEORGE JEFFERSON: Martin Lawrence

LOUISE JEFFERSON: Viola Davis

FLORENCE JOHNSTON: Paula Jai Parker

LIONEL JEFFERSON: Nick Cannon

JENNY WILLIS JEFFERSON: Zoe Saldana

TOM WILLIS: Doug Davidson

HELEN WILLIS: Judith Scott

ALLAN WILLIS: Greg Rikaart

HARRY BENTLEY: Steve Coogan

MOTHER JEFFERSON: Margaret Avery

RALPH THE DOORMAN: Seth Rogen

So what do you all think of this castlist? Feel free to add who you think in your opinion would fit the roles.

Frankly if Hollwyood attempted this they would screw it up.

SOLOMON should play George!! :jig: :D

That's a great cast list.

George Jefferson: Ike Barinholtz

Louise Jefferson: Andrea Anders

Florence Johnston: Cristela Alonzo

Lionel Jefferson: Daniel Padilla

Jenny Willis Jefferson: Paris Berlec

Tom Willis: Sterling K. Brown

Helen Willis: Zooey Deschanel

Allan Willis: Logan Kishi

Harry Bentley: Jamie Camil

Mother Jefferson: Jane Kaczmerack

Ralph The Doorman: Kenan Thompson

that is my [updated] list of roles(in which most of them are differ from the original version) for the Jeffersons film that i can see

It would be NOTHING like the original. Martin Lawrence would be horrible as George. Ricky Gervais is WHITE so that's not even possible! Sherman Hemsley was such a unique talent that there isn't a single known actor out there who could truly replicate him while looking somewhat like him.

SitcomsHeydayfan, i agreed with your opinion on The Jeffersons, Sherman Hemsley is forever be playing the great George Jefferson. Norman Lear was right, There is no “The Jeffersons” reboot.

I could've sworn that I once heard/read a rumor about a Jeffersons film adaptation with Martin Lawrence and Queen Latifah as George and Weezie. I thought that it may have been something that I merely imagined (lot the Mandela effect), but then I looked online to make sure that I actually did hear (https://billking.livejournal.com/12446.html) abou (https://www.tampabay.com/archive/1999/07/09/from-tv-land-to-tinseltown/)t it.

this is fun!
