Lol but the whole first half of Forest’s career was trash roles. Either a magical negro or a clumsy fool.

Luke isn’t a Forest Whittaker caliber of actor either and that’s the problem. He was promoted as the heir to Denzel and he has acting chops but lacks leading man charisma. Dudes done good, he never had hype from female viewers either :yeshrug:
Gotta point :ehh: & :mjlol: @ magical negro/clumsy fool

North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
We really out here acting like Nick Cannon hasn’t had an above average career so far:gucci:


Dude was NEVER going to be the next Hollywood leading man but he’s done phenomenally well for himself. I salute that brother

He's an entrepreneur. I'm only speaking on the acting side. His career path took a different turn. Not saying he's not successful. But before he built his fortune as a businessman, he was thought of being the next leading Hollywood actor a la Will Smith. That's ALL i'm saying.

This!

If anything Nick is the blueprint for young black actors to find a lane for themselves and eat.

He had enough bread to tell NBC to kiss his ass after even though they gave him a huge hosting contract.

Dude is eating better than a whole lot of Hollywood folks.

Anybody saying they don't remember this is either young as hell or lying.

Will Smith used to mentor Nick Cannon during the Drumline days. Nick Cannon even did a remake of 'Parents Just Don't Understand.'

Yeah and Nick had a cameo in Men in Black 2

Yeah and that’s what Luke lacks. Denzel can make you care about any character in any movie if he wants to. Like that crappy Magnificent 7 remake

I was like :heh: the whole movie but at the end when Denzel’s confronting the villain he’s been after the whole time and the guy goes “no! Don’t! I have kids!”

Denzel immediately goes “they’re better off without you” basic line but his delivery had me like :whoa:
