Kris : Along With Wesley Snipes And Laurence Fishburne, Who Played Abraham Whistler?

Snipes stated that while such a character is not going to have much emotional depth, he also said that "there's some acting involved in creating the character and making him believable and palatable". when goyer first pitched the idea of doing a blade film, new line cinemas asked that blade and his mentor jamal afari both be cast as white instead of black, which goyer rejected. while the role of afari was redeveloped as abraham whistler, portrayed by white actor kris kristofferson, new line head mike deluca then suggested denzel washington, wesley snipes, and laurence fishburne for the role of blade; of these three, only snipes was seriously considered, and had the film's finalised script sent to, as opposed to washington or fishburne, who were sent earlier drafts.

Kris kristofferson is really awesome in blade. kristofferson gives a really moving performance. it's one of his better roles.
