        You’re thinking of Lance Armstrong

        He was a tall, bald black man who was a great actor and starred in movies like John Wick, and also did voice overs for tons of games, including Destiny.

          True story…Louis Armstrong was actually Disney’s first choice to voice King Louie, but they decided against it due to the racist implications of having a black man voice an ape character. I think Louis Prima was a better fit anyway, he had a manic energy and is a little bit sarcastic and mean, where Louis Armstrong was just a very nice man
