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.

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 :|
