"a coooon is a cooooon" - Pierre's distressed mother in Bamboozled
you're right, maybe he can't do anything else. i sent him a script for my movie where he would be a member of shaka zulu's tribe as a warrior killing white people and he said that if he wasn't a soldier in the U.S. military (Pearl Harbor, Men of Honor, Tuskegee Airmen, A Few Good Men, Outbreak) or a stupid athlete (Jerry Maguire, Gladiator) or teamed alongside a white actor (Instinct, Chill Factor, As Good As It Gets, Lightning Jack, Judgement Night) or as a character with a little white kid on the inside but with a negro exterior<hhmmmm?!?> (What Dreams May Come) that he wouldn't be a part of a movie. he said that he felt he paid his dues with Boyz N the Hood. he also told me he thought about it but after talking to his wife, decided it wasn't a good idea. just my luck.
(((((PEACE)))))
