After the experience, you don't get any more opportunities like that and you know that you have the skills for it that your coworkers don't yet they still get more opportunities.

      I think the problem is having roles for whites, blacks, browns, yellows, etc.. I mean, if your movie is not about slavery, any specific culture or superheroes/videogames, why are there specific roles for each color? If I were a movie director, I would give the roles to the best actors besides their colors. For me, this is the most logical thing to do.

      jim halpert I mean he was great in Aladdin but when you think about it he wasn’t the “star” of the movie. He may have been the title character however the people that are most remembered for the performance in the movie was Will Smith and the person who portrayed princess jasmine. Princess Jasmine knew how to really sing which is why I knew she would get more role yes she was the best one to come out of it in terms of performance will smith been already the establish star really carried the Aladdin movie so obviously since he already is big to begin with he was going to get more role. But when it comes to the guy who played as a lad and he just got lost in to other stars overshadowing him. That really what am down too. I’ll give you an example Michael Biehn a.k.a. the guy who played Kyle Reese in Terminator one he played the hero as well too but guess who got the stardom the villain Arnold Schwarzenegger and then of course James Cameron got pretty big as well too but Michael Biehn was really left out in terms of breaking out as a big time star in the 80s. I simply just think it was a case of he was overshadowed by the other actors. Even though he was playing the title character.

      He would probably get cast again I'm sure. The word "never" shouldn't be there. But I understand if he's worried about this bcs there are lots of other actors who got to act in another movie or show IMMEDIATELY after one of their biggest role. Like Naomi Scott, Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard and more. So it's quite frustrating to be in his place.
