[@aviah123briony123]

Having seen this movie about 350 times, I can tell you that this man, "Leon Robinson," AKA "Leon" is one of the most fantastic actors walking the face of the earth. There was much talent in that movie but when you watch Leon playing David, it is extremely difficult to believe that Leon is NOT David. This is the sign of a great actor. Yes, I have admitted to Otis that I watched the movie 350 times. :)

[@unicornmadness6286]

And at his age he is still fine! And I'm 20 something years younger than he.

[@sdg1009]

Listen y’all please let’s give Robert Townsend his flowers now. Peep how’ve said he tried to get David Ruffin into rehab, give him a job and pay him. I know of people that have stayed at his sisters house while trying to become actors in LA. Well done Mr. Townsend👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯

[@Linda-fe7jo]

Robert Townsend is so kind, that was really great that he was trying to help David Ruffin. I always imagined if David and Marvin had lived longer what they would have done. I admire Robert Townsend for his generosity and hard work.

Leon didn’t play David Ruffin, he WAS DAVID RUFFIN! Content and film accuracy aside, he portrayed him very well and was definitely one of the standouts in the film. Glad i had the opportunity to meet him in NY of all places at a pizza shop. Ha. He’s VERY tall and VERY cool. Easy goin guy.

[@knowledgesomemore3564]

I'd say the Heartbeat's is a close second behind the Temptations.Also the Temptations movie is about 90% original.One of the things that never happened in the movie was the part where they fired David He did quit and the part where he jumps on stage.They talked and cried together back stage and they did let him back in the group.But once again David was David and this time it was over for good.They had put David out or he quit several times but they always would let him back in the group."👀✌️🚬Did you hear Berry Gordy say yes David, yes David"
