Honestly, could Britney Spears play any role in dreamgirls? Ask yourself that question, truthfully. Please check brandys resume. She is more than capable to tackle this role as well as any role that they see fit to give her. The only issue, is when a character is cast outside of their race when their race is an integral part of the "mise en scene". So please, reevaluate your question.
