So has Michael Jai White been blackballed by Hollywood?

[Klyk21]

Chris Brown also get FAR more public scorn than Charlie Sheen does.

And Chris Brown does act, you just said yourself he was in two movies. in fact when he's mentioned as being up for certain roles in films people immediately come out and condemn the film makers.

When Chris Brown was scheduled to be perform at the Grammy's LOTS of people spoke out about it.

Not defending anything but Charlie Sheen is just a drugged out coke head that happens to very entertaining. Chris Brown beat the fukk out a WOMAN, breh. In most people's eyes, charlie represents that guy that can still be liked although he's fukked up.... while chris at the time (rb singer who I personally only knew mostly about from that doublemint commercial, stomp the yard intro and his michael jackson impressions) was americas child. Kid looked harmless....didn't even have any tats then I don't think. Can't think of a person who's commited a violent act (black or white except chris) and still has people following him like that....

edit: charlie beat them bytches?!?!

Yeah, Charlie Sheen has been accused of beating women since the 80's and got arrested for beating his wife in 09.

The fact that people don't even know that shows just how much of a pass dude has been getting.

*edit*

Oh yeah, and I forgot that he "accidentally" shot Kelly Preston in the arm too.

I agree he should be a bigger star, but he's not exactly hurting right now. Between Black Dynamite, the dark knight and His work with Tyler Perry he's having his best run ever RIGHT NOW. He's the male lead two TV shows, most black actors would kill for the run White is having right now.

 

[Reggie]

he has range, did a damn good job playing Mike Tyson

Forgot all about him in Tyson. He was pretty good in that now that im reminded.

Terry Crews has no business being in Expendables. He was never an action movie star. Dude is mostly known for comedic roles and that wack as Battle Dome show.

That role should have gone to Carl Weathers and I on Stallone for not hooking Apollo Creed up.

 

[Optimus Prime]

Weathers turned down the role. He and Stallone had a falling out...

Charlie Sheen has always made people laugh, from Hot Shots to 2.5 Men. He's always referred to his failures and troubles with self-deprecation, just like Downey Jr. America loves it when you're able to make fun of yourself.

Chris Brown is pretty much the opposite of Sheen. Not only is he humorless about beating up a woman (BTW, it doesn't help that the woman he beat up is one of the most beloved pop stars in the world), but he's pretty much unrepentant about it.

I always thought Isaiah Washington handled that fiasco so poorly, and that's why he's been pretty much blackballed. It's a shame because he had potential to at least be a TV star a la Taye Diggs.

Yup, that make em mad fact of the day.

 

[Wildin]

Thats like Jerry Seinfeld asking for another chance right after seinfeld.

Do you know how much Jerry was offered for another show?

 

[prophecypro]

I dont think he's been blackballed there just havent been many opportunites by these studios for a black action star.

He couldnt have been blackballed if he was in one of the biggest movies ever just 4 years ago even if it was a small role.

 

[WOAHMYGOODNESS]

nikkas mention the dark knight, he only had like 4 lines in the whole movie, probably 9 minutes of screen time and was killed like nothing...not exactly a career role as gambol, a villain batman actually had stories against

mjw imo was a b-c level actions star with moderately good acting skills. He drops Black Dynamite and creates a classic, undeniable, but his talent as an ACTOR isn't solid enough to be a star for a legit movie imo...action movie? yes...like a guy said, if he was white he could take all of statham's money but it is what it is in hollywood

We aren't going to start acting like Chris Brown was the draw for any of those films are we?

Lenny Kravitz was in the Hunger Games...is he responsible for all the money that movie made? Studios should cast him as the new Batman and give him a 6 picture deal!
