7. "I liked Pryor more as an actor but Murphy had the better career" In response to In response to 0
Not sure if it was his advantage in the looks department or better timing or just better roles but from a career perspective, I don't think it's very close.
However I think a lot of Pryor's talent was wasted as a result of not having those same advantages. This is maybe like a Sam Cooke vs Otis Redding type argument. I dunno. Let's face it Pryor was in some weird spots, I had heard (from someone who worked at a high level in Motown films and other studios) that Pryor did so much blow and, as a result, borrowed so much from the studio that he did Car Wash and Bingo of All Stars as a two for one.
And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
