I had to make sure fags are informed. Since they don't know how to do research.

Wow jay, ur so ...  In the know
I read a lot and do lots of research on different subjects. It's better for me to inform myself than to think irrational.
I am scarred, so fucking scarred
These are the scars of me
The very fucking scars of me
This is my tragic heart
My tragic heart

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.


Herb.

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


Bentley!

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

yummy

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.

Bentley!

!!!!!!
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
