I know he wasn’t playing a hood dude but he was so unbelievable on that role.
Love the movie but his mannerisms always cracked me up. You could tell he practiced his stance in a mirror for months.

He spent weekends and summers with his dad too
More than enough time to have a little swag.
He fit the role for the movie but personally he was always a fish out of water in that movie.

Cuba def looked unnatural even playing a fish out of water in that role. I can picture exactly what you're talking about re: him practicing in front of a mirror for months for that role lol. He's so stiff. But it worked.
6. "Eddie Murphy post 80's" In response to Reply # 0
That first run...48 Hours, Beverly Hills Cop, Trading Places...Eddie WAS that young, hip, street-wise dude.
Then never again...
When he came back for the sequels and Golden Child, he almost seemed to be doing an impression of his younger self.
Then after his long string of family movies, he tried to recapture that character in Tower Heist, and it was painful to watch. Actually, Charlie Murphy would have hit that role out of the park.

39. "Nope. He was good in that role" In response to Reply # 12
Maybe it was the timing of the movie but he had me shook. Reminded me of my boy but with a gun instead of his fist.
Ionno if it was seeing it in NYC and paying so much to see it but that movie had me and my sister on the edge of our seats.
Colors tho... crazy how a movie that was so real is now comical once you get older.

While they were on set, talking to him about how they went to the same prep school, and Chris was trying to get him to keep it down because he thought it was fucking up his cred with the Baltimore kids lol

I fell out when I learned he was English AF and then I moved on with my life because every damn person white, black or whatever playing 'Merican characters is from England, New Zealand or Australia.

Dude just popped-up up in the projects all lite with no spanish accent/connects and no recognizable skills. Didn't hustle, wasn't a shooter, wasn't a brain, wasn't a front/legit guy, etc.

I remember seeing him in walking around Soho maybe 20 years ago and dude's gait & style of dress indicated a very "preppy" upbringing. His wiki seems to back that up also, yet he was cast in all sorts of thug roles back in the day. See Jason's Lyric, Strapped, Caught Up, etc.

I think the story was dude was tired of playing Urkel and demanded more roles or he was leaving the show.
which is why he had that ladies man character.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

The ones that, after doing all that shit to sneak into the country, making them look all bad and scary, but when it came time to carry out the hit on a DEA agent...
...they jumped out from behind some cars in a parking lot, one got smoked and the other was shot up.
