Fleetwood Coupe de Ville aka the Cowardly Lion: Rick Ross. Sike, I’m just kidding. Lying-A$$ Lion. I’m honestly having a hard time casting this one. Fleetwood physically just look like a dude in a old thrift store fur coat and one of Beyonce’s wigs she left behind after cutting the soundtrack. However, the role of the black version of the Cowardly Lion was masterfully played (seriously standing ovation to this guy) by Ted Ross, who some folks may also recognize as Dean Harris on both “The Cosby Show” and “A Different World.” Only person, who I could think of is Anthony Anderson. And that’s because he can act, he’s funny and most importantly, he is round…or he used to be.
