I can see where he's coming from as an actor myself. He doesn't want to be typecasted and play the same roles over and over. But yeah, FF4 was atrocious but that was mainly because of the writer/director of the film. He was a nightmare to 20th Century Fox. He was extremely egotistical and rude to everyone at 20th Century Fox, they wanted to push the movie back at one point and he blew a fuse. He's a crazy fucker. And as for the James Blake situation, the cop that slammed him in front of the hotel that he was staying at has a history of abusing his power and treating people like crap for no reason. There have been numerous complaints against him. Which is why the NYPD sent his ass to desk duty with the quickness, he's going to be fired very soon thanks to NPR doing an investigative report on him back in 2013. That's what happened with the James Blake situation so it's not the same thing.

I read a lot and do lots of research on different subjects. It's better for me to inform myself than to think irrational.
Im sorry but imo Michael sounds ridiculous. What exactly is he going to do when these white roles he goes out for only want a white actor to play them. This is a system that has been engrained in the entertainment business for a very long time. I think he should go for roles that break the stereotypical black male character.
I don't see the problem with him pursuing white roles.
I mean white roles are usually the ones that come in variety. The ones specifically made for blacks are usually boxed in.
Yeah I was gonna say in response to 'awg
There'd have to actually be roles that do not depict stereotypical black men in order for him to pursue them
To me that's how you know you've made it in Hollywood as a none white actor. If a white actor could have gotten the role but you still got it. Only the top Black actors (Halle, Denzel, Zoe, Will, Michael etc.,) are truly able to get blind cast and even then it's not a guarantee
What's disturbing is him referencing Leonardo and Ryan
:uhh:
Nigger you think Denzel typecasted himself?
You think Harry and Sidney typecasted themselves?
You think your skinny ass is better than them by taking crap roles because they were written for white men
Take a role and OWN it, that's how you transcend nigger
because right now you've only reverse typecasted yourself because you're always the lessor token black guy in the "white" roles you covet so much
ridiculousness

I don't thinking avoiding stereotypical roles has as much to do with his race as it does his talent.
He's not that great of an actor. Late 90s token black guy downe.
!!!!!!
He gives himself a lot here
Denzel in Training Day and every other role he's taken shows his talent
True talent can't be typecasted
Im sure Independence Day was written for a black actor
Will took it and became a mega star
They took these roles and made ppl see the character, not color
And they did it in order for his bony ass to have an opportunity
And I'm sure they didn't have Michaels attitude about it

QuoteWill Smith as Captain Steven Hiller, an assured U.S. Marine Corps F/A-18 pilot with VMFA-314 who aspires to be an astronaut, even after being turned down by NASA. Devlin and Emmerich had always envisioned an African-American for the role,[3] and specifically wanted Smith after seeing his performance in Six Degrees of Separation

Book Bran for getting her role on I STILL KNOW, that was really meant for a white girl.
If Bran really pursed film, I think she'd book.

That statement is perception
And that's the issue
No shade, but lots of ppl including you and Michael PERCEIVE a role like Carla to be made for a white girl
And I'm sure if Carla had a kid and was ghetto ppl would say, "oh Brandy got that role! Made for a black guh!"
When in reality, I have a sister who is intelligent and a survivor. And LOTS of other black women embody that
To sum it up, it's the same as ppl telling educated blacks that they talk "white" or acting "white" when behaving with sense.
No shade, but I don't think you would understand why this mindset is frustrating
It's stupid because the issue he's trying to combat is in his own mind
Only seeking out "white" roles
When in reality if he REALLY wanted to be post-racial, then race wouldn't be an issue at all in his choosing of said roles
Just to sum it up lolz

Bently... I'm only quoting what Brandy said.
She went on the audition even though she knew the directors/casting directors were looking to cast a white girl...
:dead:
I didn't make that up.
Where the hell did I say a black girl can't be educated, powerful, or wealthy?
Please READ before you go on a tangent. You don't know my intentions or where I come from - and how much I respect all individuals. Thanks.
And her name is Karla.

Wtf is a white role?
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeddddd

Ralf stop being sensitive
You sound like one of those guys that gets upset and goes on a "I have black friends rant"
You ok?
ssssss
And Brandy doing that audition is different than Michael saying he ONLY actively pursues white role
And even if the directors were looking for a white girl, Brandy took control and showed them they didn't have to write an EBT card into the script because she was cast :dead:
