you cant knock him really, and its good that he can think on this level, cos good knows someone has to think on this level as american blacks are not known for thinking too deeply when it comes to issues that affect them and contribute not only to their detriment but have a knock on effect on the rest of us in the outside world. the rap and hip hop world has taken over and not in a good way..so good on you cuba for thinking outside the box and doing some “gooding ” with it.

I love him, it doesn’t matter what he does. IMO,he’s a terrific actor and I look forward to any thing in which he stars. I’ve read Carson’s book… oh he’s going to be terrific in this.

To be fair to Cuba, its not easy getting those plum roles in Hollywood when you’re a black man. Unless you’re Denzel, Will Smith, Morgan Freeman or Sam Jackson. Morgan is something like an icon at this point. Denzel & Will have that sexy/suave leading man status and Sam Jackson has badass status. Cuba not so much. So even though he is a talented actor imo, I’m not surprised that after the good roles dried up or failed to come his way, he started doing what he could to earn a paycheck.

He’s also in one of my favorite movies, Eddie Murphy’s “Coming to America.” It’s one of his first roles – he just sits in a barber shop chair getting his hair cut, while Murphy and Arsenio Hall riff around him.
