He's a fukking actor

Buddy from snowfall is not from the USA but he plays a 80s drug dealer.

Get the fukk over it and support the movie.





brit brehs mad :russ:


This ain't even a diaspora war thread. But him trying to sound like an American breh from the 70s ain't it, man. His American accent was perfect in "Get Out". I don't know why he couldn't get this accent down.

:patrice:

Hopefully the story and movie is good enough to not allow that accent to become a distraction. To contrast, I binge watched Snowfall recently, and I wasn't sold on Damon Idris at first. Someone on here told me he gets better, and yeah by season 2 and 3 he gets much better. Idris Elba so good I wouldn't have ever known he was from the UK. Same with Dominic West.

I thought the same thing from the previews... he sounds like a parody of someone being pro black.

He actually researched that role and hung around folks from the area as preparation tho.

Daniel Kaluuya... good actor but says he's tired of discussing race then takes on the type of role that deals with race. His attitude comes off in his performance... but I'll wait till I see the movie to fully judge his performance.
