i agree with you there,afkap trois was shit and i was happy i rented the shit and NOT go to a theatre to support it. i would have slapped the shit out of the ticket person! :)

theyre decent actors, but they dont push themselves. omar: is extremely talented, but it just seems like he plays a derivation of the main character in his debut film in 92, Juice. it gets tired after a while...i dont htink it would be a bad thing if he played against type every once in a while. Mekhi: im still up in the air on him. save for Clockers, A Lesson Before Dying--he hasnt done much to prove to me he's talented yet. O i wasnt feeling..i got it but i just wasnt feelinghim in it. he'sthe same as Omar for me: if he plays against type and does it well, then ill change my opinion of him.

no i think gary is quite talented....his few films, other than Trois and that BET movie of the week he did in 99, are really good and show he has range. and CSI--he is very good on that show being part of the ensemble cast.

yea he's hot and i admit that...have i ever done otherwise afkap? :)

all im saying is that an actor gets my respect if he not only is good but can play a variety of characters..i like terence because he has variety and i respect that. he could have easily done stuff JUST LIKE THE BEST MAN (morris chestnutt in the brothers anyone?) but he didnt....

in general, i just want MORE black actors to get their shot to do movies--and not just the usual suspects (vivica, nia halle, morris, taye, etc.)
