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

Lets be honest though, if Hanks gave a hundred k's of his money to all of his co-stars that acted well in his movies, he would be broke in a few years. Rich people don't do shyt like that, and his co-stars finances aren't his concern.

Feel sorry for Abdi though, dude will be typecast purely due to his appearance. He should have just kept the 9 to 5 and maybe put the 60k to further education or his future. Hard to get any kind of varied work when you aren't a white male or maybe a black male in Hollywood.

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.
You really just put this nikka in the same sentence with MKW :comeon:

i don't care what movie you're in or what album you appear on, if you quit your day job with no money coming in then you're a dikkhead. he doesn't exactly have the looks and probably the accent (i haven't seen the movie yet) to pull off many roles.

dude is probably a shyt actor. that was probably just a role of a lifetime.

lets be real though, he should be able to parlay that nomination into at least 2-3 supporting roles, and he should be able to make a million total in the next couple years. his looks make him pretty limited. he could be ironically a bad guy in the next POTC movie, not the main guy, but his top supernatural henchman. He could be a 2nd fiddle Bond villian if they ever go to Africa. There always seem to be African priest characters popping up in movies, etc

and yeah as someone said earlier. make a movie about aids in the black community, have MKW be a kind of rogue vigelante (like MM in DBC except with that MKW attitude!) out for blood to try and save his bed ridden dying brother, Barkhad Abdi. that's a pulpy-B action movie.

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:


Hanks like "damn boy, u scared me again.".

This......

He's gonna have to go indy. He has too much of a "unique" look to play regular roles but if he can get on D-level TV drama or do some indy projects he could probably work his way into some staring roles in a couple of years.
