19. "i hope you're right but i doubt she'll ever get mainstream leads" In response to In response to 14
let's be real off them previews, she's playing a mammy :/
and though she looks fantastic she is near 40
and if she can overcome that she still has to compete with Halle, Latifah, occasionally Jada and Thandie for those over 30 mainstream roles or try and elbow out Meagan Goode and co. at the other end.
And I haven't even mentioned that that Kerry Washington is always lurking for the same roles. And what about Nona Gaye?
now that I think about it, Taraji is a great actress but she's pretty type-casted. i can't even think of a mainstream movie she's done or a role she's played that wasn't kinda hood.
