Can we talk about Brian Tyree Henry being one of the greatest actors of our generation?

Yeah, but it's hard to erase this from memory:

That equates to "one of the greatest"?
It definitely doesnt. He just a flamboyant gay man who can code switch into a brotha well. It is a stark difference between who he actually his vs who he portrays but the performances dont get that tag at all, OP tripping. I think hes a good actor though. Godzilla/Kong was a super L for him though because he was trash af in that.

He’s no where close to a great actor. He’s good.
His role on Atlanta? His characters on If Beale Street Could Talk, Boardwalk Empire, and How To Get Away with Murder?
He’s head and shoulders above most actors of his generation, save for a few other stars like LaKeith Stanfield.

P.S. Anyone find it strange that all the black gay celebs are with white folks? WTF is up with that? Who Lil Nas X gonna look up to? :unsure:

This is your logic?what about all the gays who play straight characters?or straight who have played gay?that would take alot more acting ability and dedication:mjcry:. Because once you play a gay role you will be seen as gay as a black man. Everything about that show and the people in it is overated.

SnowFall new season coming#Legendary:wow:.

He also never came off as a real streat nikka to me. And i was quickly proven right as he continously got his card pulled:mjlol:

He’s a great actor,

But I gotta say, his character in Atlanta, anybody who from Atlanta could tell you he’s not from Atlanta.
