i was slightly flippant with my wording, apologies, i dont think he should quit acting altogether, i just think that crap murder mystery is beneath a man of his intelligence and ability

you say this, but have you seen hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy? i profoundly admire the mans 'bars', but really his acting is as wooden as long john silver's dick

That's why he makes a good alien in HH, like Keanu Reeves makes a good confused drugster in A Scanner Darkly. That's good casting

Ok. But is there any discernable difference between how he rolls in the Cosby Mystery and HH?

He's as good an actor as he is an MC. He just isn't given any good parts.
Have you seen the woodsman? He's top in that.
TOP

why is always the rappers that get the good black acting jobs??

poax · Post by **poax** » Thu Sep 14, 2006 12:12 pm

BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT BLACK PEOPLE CAN MODEL THEMSELVES ON

ROBBING FROM THE POOR TO FEED THE RICH.

lol - 10th time lucky?

if memory serves bungle was the only one in rainbow who wasn't a queeny lunatic: not a bad role choice then...

for serious it is shite the roles that are given to black actors in hollywood. is british tv/film any better tho? i dunno. i'm not black so i don't feel comfortable holding forth on this business, but nonetheless don't get me started on 3 non-blondes. whoever scheduled that dross set black comedy back 20 years: not cause it's stereotype heavy necessarily, just cause it's so AWFUL.

wow way to go off topic, sorry
