Angela Bassett, Malcolm X - As if being married to a revolutionary wasn't hard enough, Betty Shabazz (Bassett) had to deal with raising six children as a single mother after her husband was assassinated. Malcolm X is as much Betty's story as it is Malcolm's, thanks to the fact that the real-life Mrs. X was an advisor on the project. (Photo: Courtesy 40 Acres & A Mule Filmworks)Albert Hall - The role of Bains, the fictional character who converts Malcolm to Islam while in prison, was played by Albert Hall. After Malcolm X, the veteran actor became best know for playing Judge Seymore Walsh on the hit series Ally McBeal. He's also starred in the series 24, The Young and the Restless and Men of a Certain Age. (Photo: 40 Acres & A Mule Filmworks)
