Cochise from Cooley High, was domineering father Joe Jackson.
Plus, you had none other than Billy Dee Williams as Motown founder Barry Gordy, Vanessa Williams as music producer Suzanne DePass, Terrence Howard as the young adult version of Brother Jackie.
The M.O.
of the miniseries is right there in the title.
It's selling the Jacksons as the embodiment of the American dream, from working-class Gary Indiana to Motown superstardom to the early days of Michael's breakout solo career, from rags to the richest of riches.
A familiar strain of the Jackson lore that the movie depicts is Joe, the hardcore, abusive stage dad whose children fear him.
But whose abuse is nonetheless accepted as a price worth paying.
Because, as the family has often publicly stated, it's what steered them toward excellence and mainstream success.
Here's Angela Bassett as Katherine Jackson.
He's the one that made all this possible.
And here's Michael's sister Janet echoing the same sentiment in a clip from her 2022 self-titled docuseries.
It was because of my father I've had the career that I've had.
It was tough at times.
There was nothing easy about it, period.
Now, I'm a late 80s baby, so I didn't experience peak MJ in real time.
And I was still too young to catch the American Dream miniseries during its initial airing.
But it eventually became part of my initiation into the world of MJ obsession.
My parents had a VHS tape recording, and it was constantly rerun on VH1 and BET.
It was basically the first way I absorbed his life story and understood who he might be outside of the songs and the music videos.
For my parents' generation, this movie was nostalgia.
