Braxt..... Christopher B Duncan reveals hate for playing Braxton

[spliz]

In Christopher B Duncan's case I think it's worse than that bc he was just really good at that role and it fukked him in the long run. Some people just look the part but aren't really good actors like this dude

They like "we need a gangsta nikka to run across the street" and called him everytime. Dude got roles just to do this run in every movie

Second scene posted was a parody of the first.

Yeah but that's his thing and he embraced it. I'm not gonna look up every time he did that run.

Hector is a short step behind the genius of Vin Diesel getting paid to say different versions of "I am Groot".

He didn't say he hated it at all. He even ends the clip saying he has no regrets. He just doesn't like when people, specifically black people in power, only see him as Braxton and don't give him a shot to excel at other roles.

Yeah, if this is keeping him from actually getting roles, that's a problem and he has every right to be upset about it. It's one thing if he was getting Braxton-type roles and didn't want them, but if casting directors just see him as Braxton and don't hire him for anything, then he doesn't work.

Jaleel White dealt with it, Dustin Diamond dealt with it. Several other actors and actresses dealt with it. Being typecast is like a punishment for an actor. They're getting penalized for being way too good at one role, which should show they can act, but the only reason they're not given a chance is because they excelled at a role. It's a catch-22.

Imagine other famous actors dealing with this. If Bryan Cranston got typecast, you don't get Breaking Bad.

Breh I would legit watch a movie based on all the gangsters that dude played as, on some Tubi exclusive shyt. Him and the Korean dude that always die in movies are the reason why I love this movie shyt

Thats why you see people like Miley Cyrus go extreme 180 after Hannah Montana, otherwise people will forever type cast you.

Urkel will always be Urkel etc.

He will always be Braxton

Second one was him reenacting the first on Don’t Be A Menace. Don’t recall seeing him do that in any other movie.

Depends on the demand/bag you get from it.


This brehitto is contractually obligated by God to play a California ese gang banger in any movie that calls for it. But at least for him it's an easy bag.

Danny Trejo walked, so this vato could run, eh?

This is why a lot of tv actors demand so much money and also why a lot of serious actors don’t do tv. You do a successful tv show and getting typecasted is the unfortunate risk you run.

No offense but I'm not about to post Everytime this dude runs in a movie.

If there was no Braxton then nobody would clown his acting in Original Gangsters. He was definitely good at playing an ass hole in that movie.

After seeing him as Braxton then watching Original Gangsters

 

[3rd Ward Swangin]

He's just great at playing a Carlton type character. Dude kid's can almost pass for completely white. He married the Mail lady from the Jamie Foxx show.

 

[TRUEST]

Nah. There’s hope for him. If he packaged and reused the emotion he displayed in that interview, I can see him playing many roles that calls for a stern actor. A lil facial hair wouldn’t hurt him either. Man the possibilities are endless for this cat. He just needs to not go into interviews snarling at folks on some why do u see me this way. A good actor just needs the right opportunity to shatter preconceived notions.

And him being light skinned has nothing to do with anything. If ice-t can excel in acting, this dude will be more than alright.
