Hollywood is in the midst of producing a film on the life of Muhammad Ali, with Will Smith in the lead role and Mykelti Williamson as boxing promoter Don King.

We weren't sure the movie's producers hit all of the casting choices on the nose, so we solicited ideas from Page 2 readers for better candidates.

We've narrowed down your suggestions for five key roles. Now we're asking Page 2 readers to choose among these picks and Hollywood's picks.

Vote at left for whom you think should portray King. Check back Monday when we'll reveal who the winners are.

Mykelti Williamson

Hollywood's choice

Orlando Jones

He's an awesome up-and-comer with good range, not only in the acting department ("Double Take"), but also the hairdo department.
-- Josh Benton, Gainesville, Fla.

Ving Rhames

He is typecast as King ever since the movie on HBO.
-- Mike Suppe, Milford, Conn.

Chris Rock

It is a younger King and nobody is better at acting like a jerk than Rock.
-- He Hate Me, Miami

Wesley Stokes

The Missouri guard is the only one with the hair for the part.
-- Chris Monjoy, Pasadena, Calif.

Marlon Wayans

Makes me laugh and to see him do King would be priceless.
-- Mike Meehan, Arlington, Va.
