Still mad that Larenz Tate never reached that next level like he should have. This guy at the age of 20 was pretty much the next in line and he didn't have a drug problem (that I ever heard of anyway) or legal problems that contributed to him not blowing up. So I always wonder what happened when there were plenty of roles out here for Denzel Will and even guys like Jaime Foxx.

I think it was his youthful look that kept him from that next next level. He always looked like a little kid. You can only go so far with him. IMO.

I can see why you said. He doesn't age at all. Probably why they having hard time to give him some solid roles.

me too, dude seemed to fall off the map after why do fools fall in love. i'm like did he get disenchanted with hollywood, was there drama we didn't know about? just seems like he should've had more prominent roles (even as a supporting character) in more notable movies. dude fell into straight to DVD land

His height held him back as well. He's pretty short. Feeds into your idea that he just didnt have a leading man look to him., which limited his opportunities.

Allso I know is that my mother would most likely see it. Love Jones is her favorite movie.

A sequel would be dumb though. I feel him and Nia should just do a movie not related to that one at all.

Right. Unlike Tom Cruise he's not the right shade for Hollywood to overlook his stature. I can't lie tho, I remember a few years back when he was in an Ashanti video playing an abusive tough guy that used to put hands on her. They had him smoking cigars, drew a tattoo tear under his eye, and I still wasn't convinced.

Mothafukkas stay complaining.

Hollywood doesn't care what you want or need. When you realize that, life will be so much better :blessed:
