Cuba Gooding, Jr. I thought would be a perfect Gabriel. His character in the movie Radio was captivating. Gabriel is Troy's younger brother who was injured in the war and has a metal plate in his head, which has made him a lot slower mentally. He receives money from the government, which Troy watches over and also helped he and Rose buy the house they now live in. Gabriel cannot work, so he roams the streets during the day and does not bother a soul. He is innocent to all things now and has been living with Troy and Rose since he got back from the war. He decides that he wants more freedom and leaves Troy and Rose to move in with Miss Pearl (a woman down the street with a room to rent). He believes that he is the Archangel Gabriel. He has a basket with assorted fruits and vegetables. "You know what I got, Rose. I got fruits and vegetables." His actions are not to harm anyone and he is always talking about Judgment Day, and in particular is always telling Troy to be careful. He cares greatly for his family but feels that he was in Troy and Rose’s way.
