Clifton Powell Is Sick Of You All Typecasting Him!!!

[Cuban Pete]

You just have an evil face old man, take your beef up with God lol

 

[Sbp]

Serious question. What would you say is Clifton Powell’s best acting role? Movie and/or television

Bossman Cutty

 

[Originalman]

I fukken die at this scene all the the time.

Greatest scene in movie history. Its the closest 80s and 90s kids got to the talk that shyt in whiteys face in cinema that black folks got to see during the 70s black exploitation days...

 

[Originalman]

His acting in the series Roc was powerful. He’s a very good actor and showed versatility in his career.

Truth

Roc

Powerful acting. You don't see acting like this on tv anymore.

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

One of my favorites

He always playing some grimey pimp or thug.

Every time he start to raise his voice I end up losing it.



That's it you got the part

 

[Phitz]

Clifton Powell plays a great villian,

but in all fairness he has played Lawyers, Doctors, Teachers, MLK, shyt he's a reverend in Black Lightning now.

He just looks unlikeable, like he gives off an unlikeable vibe, even if he does play a 'good guy'. It's like his true unlikeable colors come through lol

..and he keeps that same mustache

 

[Phitz]

Unfortunately he's a dark skin black man in Hollywood, so they'll use him to play evil and depraved characters.

He's excellent in Black Lightening though. I love him and that show!

Nah breh, Idris, Bill Cosby, Eddy Murphy, Blair Undwerwood, etc say otherwise.. nah he just gives off that vibe.

Powerful acting. You don't see acting like this on tv anymore.

I think I remember that scene. That was a while ago..... 90s TV...... Had real heart in it...

 

[Blankthawtz]

This may have been the most soul ethering scene i've ever seen without someone actually dying lol.

What always got to me about that scene was the fact that he was military trained with a chip on his shoulder and let some pimp do that to him without retaliation.... I was expecting him to block the punch and rip Clifton's eyes out....

Even if he was prime brock lesnar or mike tyson it wouldn't have been anything he could do with groceries in his hand and after getting knocked down the stairs like that you would be weak as fukk.

[Raw Lyrics]

Yeah, out of all his roles, him beating Larenz Tate in the stair well was there first that came to mind.

That's the first role I think of. He was so good in that movie, I remember hoping Larenz Tate would get revenge on him before the movie ended.

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

That's the first role I think of. He was so good in that movie, I remember hoping Larenz Tate would get revenge on him before the movie ended.

for me, It's always him as Sharane's brother in House Party and fakkit ass Chauncey in Menace II Society
