USHER EYES MARVIN GAYE BIOPIC.

R&B superstar USHER wants to play the leading role in a biopic of legendary singer MARVIN GAYE. The Love in This Club hitmaker has already played Gaye once before during a guest-appearance on U.S. television show American Dreams. And now he is desperate to portray Gaye in a movie version of his life story. He says, "I want to be the person who tells the story of Marvin Gaye because I understand the conflict he had as a man." Unfortunately for the singer, a film about Marvin Gaye's life is already in production - with former Law & Order star Jesse L. Martin in the lead role.
