Before the movie opened, in late 2012, director Quentin Tarantino revealed that he’d met with 6 actors for the title part in Django Unchained (after Will Smith reportedly passed on it) that would eventually go to Jamie Foxx: in addition to Foxx, Idris Elba, Chris Tucker, Terrence Howard, Michael K. Williams, and Tyrese 

The audition tape for one of those actors – Tyrese – has surfaced, courtesy of our friends at World Star Hip Hop who uncovered it, and it’s embedded below for you to watch.
