Does anyone know why the movie "Breaker" is named Abel Shaz instead of Alvin R. Kibbey? I understand he is being played by Saïd Taghmaoui who is of Morracan decent, but why the name change?
Do you think that they gave "Breaker" this name to reflect the actor who is playing him? I'm not familiar with Saïd Taghmaoui, does he have an accent? I know he was born in France, but as an actor shouldn't he be able to fake a southern accent to make him sound like he is from Tennessee? If they wanted a character who was not going to be Alvin R. Kibbey from Tennessee, why would they even bother calling him "Breaker" in the first place? Just make up a new code name for a new character named Abel Shaz. I know many people were upset with Marlon Wayans being cast as "Ripcod", but at least he is still named Wallace A. Weems. Are there any other name changes that we are not aware of yet?

Eh, I figure nobody's buying that this actor...who is an outstanding actor, and I am glad he is in the movie...is "Alvin Kibbey" from Gatlinburg Tenn. I've been to Gatilinburg and I certainly wouldn't. If there's going to be an international team, some people need to be international, right? So why not?
Note, that last is a rhetorical question, not an invitation to those here who are afraid of A: change or B: minorities to answer it.

Well, they call him Abel
He'll always be Alvin to me... (sung to the tune of the chorus of "She's Always A Woman to Me" by Billy Joel) |
