"They were the voices" can't say they were the faces either, not really the voices either for that matter. I know Terron and Christian sound the most like the men they were chosen to portray. I have heard Leon sing, his voice has no where near the dept of David Ruffin. Christian was much heavier than Paul ever was, and Terron although he has the skin tone and falsetto he still couldn't pass for Eddie. They did an excellent job though. My men were portrayed very well. I didn't have to wonder who anyone was supposed to be. David was a more manly man than Leon. I don't know if I'm explaining that correctly. David had a presence, Leon not so much. I've met Leon, had a conversation with him. As I have said before, SuzAnne DePass did a wonderful job with the casting, I haven't seen any actors who could've played them better. Charles for the tears alone should've won some kind of award. OMG, I CAN'T BELIEVE NO ONE THINKS THEY LOOK ALIKE. DO MY EYES DECIEVE ME? LEON DID LOOK A LITTLE PRETTIER THAN THE REAL RUFFIN... BUT I STILL SEE SOME SIMILARITES AS FOR PAUL, I THINK HIS VOICE IS MUCH MORE DEEPER THAN CHRISTIAN ESPECIALLY WHEN HE SING FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE.

When Terron origiinally auditioned for the Temptations movie, he auditioned for another part. But when they saw him and heard him sing, they said it was astonishing how much he looked like and sounded like Eddie. Now he worked on singing like Eddie, but I am amazed how many discussions Tempt boards had as people were convinced they were using Eddie's real voice when it was actually Terron singing the songs in THE TEMPTATIONS. And the same thing goes for Paul and Christian. People thought it was Paul's voice when it was actually Christian singing his parts.

IMO, none of the characters looked like the originals. Although they don't look like the characters, the actors captured the essence of Eddie, Melvin, Paul, David, and Otis.
