DID YOU KNOW HOLLYWOOD MADE A MOVIE ABOUT BEN CARSON? WATCH THE HIGHLIGHTS HERE

Dr. Ben Carson has been hot with conservatives since his well-publicized speech at the National Prayer Breakfast, where he criticized President Obama’s policies while the president sat all of 5 feet away, not to mention his CPAC address this past weekend. But what you might not know is that before he became a hero on the right, Carson was already a minor celebrity, and even got a TV movie made about his life. The movie, titled “Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story,” is titled after Carson’s own autobiography, and follows the life of Carson (played as an adult by Cuba Gooding, Jr.) from his difficult early life through his college years at Yale to his career as a world-renowned neurosurgeon. It originally aired on TNT in February of 2009.

He's an inspiring person and would greatly help the Republican Party in the next election cycle should he throw his support that way.

Just watched it a couple of months ago. Terrific movie. It was amazing that this man almost chose the wrong path for his life.

whats funny is you guys would be saying the exact opposite if the man had different political views. Just look at how so many conservatives trash Oprah despite her remarkable life story.
