my grandma would be a mix between Uncle Phil’s mom on Fresh Prince and Carl’s mom on Family Matters
 
For me...probably Lela Rochon in her prime as my mom and Wendell Pierce for my biological dad, and i'm trying to think of a tall light skin cat to play my stepdad...brb
 
Given that absolutely no one in Black Hollywood looks even remotely like my parents, I had to make a quick search on Google.

And I would be tempted to say for the Congolese-born South Africa settled actor Joe Kazadi to play my late father, although he might need a pretty good prothestic nose, though.
My father on his photos had one of those flattened, very wide subtropical African noses we may note all along the Guinea Coast westward to the Congo basin and Central southwest Africa southward by passing through the Cameroon and Gabon-- which is pretty weird, given that he was not ethnically Bantu (although every ethnicity has been admixtured with others in Central Africa) . He was also a well-reputed womanizer (so does Kazadi) with a fair count of many wives and even few other mistresses in various countries.
He might need a good pair of heel shoes -Kazadi is 6 feet tall, my father was three inches taller - and some fat suit though, because from what I have seen on his pictures, my father has went quite overweight in his later years, in spite being known as a very athletic and sportive man from what my mother told me.

Otherwise, he seems like a good fit: he's tall, charming, has some very dark brown skin with a cue of reddish hue, an impeccable style and a semi-posh, heightened "I-am-better-than-thou-and-thou-knoweth-it" hunk-ish arrogance that exudes through his mannerisms and aura, which is typical from many Central African men, especially who socially elevated themselves through sheer willpower and perseverance-- and given that even in poverty and all the misery of colonialism (my father was already a full-grown man when the European colonizers got booted out of Africa) my paternal family hails from the traditionnal upper class, it doesn't help.

Whom to my mother, it would be either the mixed French-Congolese model and music artist Didi-Stone Olomidé with a good lightening makeup and few prothestic changes, or the mixed Anglo-South African British actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw with a good darkface, a wig and few prothestics too (my mom has a medium-light copperish brown skin. In Central Africa, both she and I would be qualified by other native as "reds" . So does Didi, although my mother used to be a cue lighter of complexion when she was young) . She also have somewhat of a vagyely "mixed-race look", thanks to both her materbal and paternal dual heritage-- in spite the fact we do not remember any European ancestor amid accounts, rumours and oral traditions begrudgingly admitted by my elders about some distantly minor Horner and nonblack/non-African ancestry in every of my ancestral lineages, especially within my late maternal grandfather's side: although it could be also due to the fact that her dual ethnic background (all related to my father's) are technically all of mixed (now-obsolete terminology) "Nilo-Hamitic" , Nilo-Sudanian and Bantu triple heritage.

They would have to trick their height too and give some body protestics. My mother is very Petite, while age coupled by various other factors made her gain a lot of weight in later years.
