      See... he was told, "you can pick any role". The minute THEY said, "no. We want you for this role"... that was a problem and the issue. They already had a narrative in mind. Fuck that!
      Smart move Tommy.

      Ashley Shanea Idk about that. There’s been plenty of times I’ve seen white actors give interviews that I had no clue were British. My theory is that Hollywood casting directors are overly impressed by a foreign actor’s ability to flawlessly switch into an American accent. Fair or not, it gives the impression of superior acting skills.

    Tommy Davidson has been bae since Woo. I can't speak to writing, but as overall talent, he, Damon, and David carried In Living Color for YEARS. I would love a memoir from him on his relationship to Hollywood. He's such a class act that I would trust his nostalgia.

    FINALLY a black man answering the dress question like a real grown ass MAN. Wearing a dress doesn’t diminish our sexuality or our manhood. Wearing a dress (or doing anything else) because a white studio executive wants to sell stereotypes of or microaggressions against black masculinity is the real problem.

  • @MrMac4real
    @MrMac4real 4 года назад +17

    And people wonder why his acting career hasn't taken off. He was probably the funniest person on In Living Color. Yet, Jamie Foxx is the top guy. Don't get me wrong, Jamie is extremely talented, however, he did wear the dress. Makes you wonder what else he has done. When you don't conform to the white man's Hollywood, you won't make it.

    I admire Mr.Davison for not excepting certain Hollywood roles that he felt would be disrespectful to himself and other black actors. Why should I be a killer of women,being asked to wear a dress. Being portrayed as a drug dealer or addict or a prisoner being locked up like an animal. Sometimes the role you play is how certain people view you as a person.

    I saw an interview recently where he admitted that substance abuse ultimately lead to his career having trouble. I respect his willingness to admit that because he was clearly a standout during his in living color days. A lot of times talented people disappear from the public eye and we don’t know why. The fact that he holds himself accountable instead of blaming others is commendable. We can all find something to blame our failures on but it doesn’t benefit anyone to do so.

      @terrelljohnson8687 4 года назад

      Mason bro even then on a physiological level he was consider the villain because Darby was a villain who made a deal with a black man so he could get off the hook which the system failed the innocent man. And in another view it makes Jamie fox’s looks as if he was was working with the villain for a unbreaking record. Immoral vs moral blacl people are looked at moral people who is willing to compromise their values beliefs for a win status
