[CoolazzFemale]

He's been behind the camera a lot lately, though.

The Town was also a great movie. One of the better non-remake/sequel action thrillers in years. Afleck and Renner both killed it

It's one of those words that gets thrown around a lot.



White stars on a tv show on TBS and is the creator/writer/producer/star of a show on Adult Swim and is scheduled to be in the Mortal Kombat reboot.

Isaiah Washington got blackballed, and he's 100X the actor MJW will ever be...

Wesley Snipes too got blackballed, now incarcerated (he still locked up?)

MJW just isn't a good actor at all, but why he's not in more martial arts flicks is beyond me...then again, this ain't the 80's-90's

I think blackballed a bit strong lol....i think its just that ages old Hollywood CISM. I think you might be able to blame him or his agent, if we knew what roles he was offered and might have turned down but in general i agree with the premise that he shoulda been a bigger action star than he has turned out to be.

I think he ultimately fell victim to the limited roles and competing with the few established black actors Hollywood allows to shine. His career would have been bigger if Wesley Snipes wasn't there takin up that lane already back in the 80's/90's. He's basically a Wesley Snipes 2.0.

Wesley snipes is a better actor then MJW. By a light year, friend.
