Usher has hinted that he wants to play the role of Marvin Gaye in a biopic based on the singer.
The R&B star has already portrayed Gaye once before on TV, for the show American Dreams. Now he hopes to land the role for a big screen performance:
"I want to be the person who tells the story of Marvin Gaye," says Usher, "because I understand the conflict he had as a man."
However, it has emerged that a Marvin Gaye film is already in the works and the lead role has gone to actor Jesse L. Martin.
