A long running social media joke has always been that Doc Rivers looks like Laurence Fishburne. They have the same skin tone, face shape, smile, and glabellar lines among other things. They really look like twin brothers in a way.
Given those facts it was a no brainer for Hollywood producers to ask Laurence Fishburne to play Doc Rivers in the Donald Sterling docuseries. Take a look at them side by side. They even have the same kind of beard and grey hairs.
Doc Rivers looks like Laurence Fishburne so much that he probably could have played Morpheus in Matrix.
