The fact that he was nominated for an Oscar means some major agency should be willing to sign him and try to get work for him and send him out on auditions he's been in a major film and got nominated for an Oscar he's miles ahead of most wanna be actors that's for sure he just has to get a normal job that gives him the opportunity to audition for roles
wouldnt of that of already happened though?

hes gonna be like that mexican guy(Noel Gugliemi) who always plays the same role in every movie hes in

this guy also has to realize actors dont get paid a lot until they make it and he should keep working

he's probably not putting work in and expects things to be handed to him.

:heh:

Yeah but what does that mean though? I read that part like :what:

Did dude think he'd get mobbed on his job by groupies and fans? You can't pay your bills with an Oscar even if he did win. He should be able to get a SAG card, get an agent, and grind like everyone else, but hold down a 9-5 in case it don't work out. Dude quit his job like :blessed: off one role.

Fred.




Haha, I don't know...my guess is his pride. Not so much a mob, but people coming in for phones realizing it's him, tryna put him Facebook/YouTube/worldstar and shyt. Now that I think about it, I woulda quit too.

He didn't leave a cushy union job...it's a job at a cell phone shop his brother owns...I'm sure he could get it back if he really needs too. :pachaha:

This nikka monster ugly. Maybe the people at Walking dead can hire his bony ass to play a walker.

I watched Captain Phillips in the theater, when nikka came on the screen I was like :huhldup:for real.

65 G is just fine for an actor who has never acted before, and 3 months of work. I bet he got to fly around the world to promote Captain Phillips.

God damn at this nikkas teeth. :huhldup:

Honestly, hanks probably has like a $100 mill in the bank, dude is a heavyweight producer and actor


He should give this dude a couple hundred g's, he helped make the movie the success it was. After this movie dropped all I heard from critics was how good this nikka was in the movie and he'd get an Oscar nod

:joel: tariq went in on this dude on his ustream show
what he say
Basically, wtf else is he gonna play? The movie needed a convincing African hungry nikka and they got one. That doesn't translate to other great roles.

shyt ask Precious. She may get work here and there but no Academy serious roles. And I hate to bash homie but...

Him and Michael K. Williams need to work together, preferably as brothers. That's an opportunity for both of them since they're too ugly to be leads on their own, but combined their ugliness would be so grand it becomes captivating to watch.
