Laurence Fishburne, first rumored to be voicing the giant cloud of Galactus in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, will reportedly instead be providing the voice of the Silver Surfer. He actor beat out James Earl Jones, Sisko from Deep Space Nine, and Worf, Fishburne's biggest rivals in the "black guy with cool, deep voice category". I like to imagine it came down to bare-knuckles backgammon in Worf's basement/rumpus room.
The role as the Surfer will compete directly against Pill-Choice-Guy in The Matrix for the honor of what Larry will be sitting at a comic convention autographing pictures of in ten years.
