Actually, Don Cheadle played Sammy Davis, Jr. in an HBO film and was FANTASTIC. I don't think he could do any of the singing for the part(probably done by an impersonator) but he was simply amazing as the Sam-man.

Like I said, anyone who's seen him do work he can sink his teeth into, will agree Cheadle is the finest actor from EITHER Oceans 11 ensemble. No question.

Oh, HBO's "The Rat Pack" movie was great, and Cheadle really stole the show as Sammy.

Absolutely great. It's rumored that if Martin Scorsese's movie on Dean Martin gets moving Cheadle is the really the only contender to play Sammy.
