Are they just typecasting him???
(lemmy.world)
I'll just leave this motherfucker here.
Perfect casting decision IMO
RIP Charlie Murphy.
Boondocks my beloved.
Literally the best show ever made. I've seen every episode like 80 times, and it's still hilarious every time.
Uncle Ruckus pledging to beat and harass every black person with extreme prejudice is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
Lol @ when he tries to do the exercism on Tom by forcing him to "learn to read."
I know right? I've been hoping to see him play as a pregnant Asian woman. He's just holding himself back..
Imagine him playing a woman giving birth, the mutherfucking force of nature unleashed at that moment would be rewarded with all Oscars, at once.
Jackson would probably have more engaging birth than Arnold's scene in Junior.

If Daniel Day Lewis wasn't retired for the 3rd or 4th time, he'd be all over it. Maybe Christian Bale's available.
If anyone could play a preggo Asian woman, you know it's
Rob Schneider!
If he can play a stapler, he can be a pregnant Asian woman too!
you say this but rdj doesn't always play white guys
ACTING!
Does playing a white guy playing a black guy count?
"What do you mean, you people?"
"What do YOU MEAN, you people??"
Can you imagine an SL Jackson and RDJ movie where they race swap? That would be hilarious!
White Chicks sequel looking 🔥
It's just racist. For a long time gay actors were afraid to come out because they would be stuck only playing gay parts (very few).
Black people need to get together and protest. They need to convince directors that they can play white characters too! Black actors shouldn't be afraid to come out as black.
They've got a point. Robert Downey Jr. has played many white roles over the years.
He played a black guy in Tropic Thunder.
Which is weird because how can a black guy be cast as a white guy in every single movie he's been in except one?

Because he is not as versatile of an actor as esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie, of course.
Why does Margot Robbie always play black guys?
Margot Robbie, I'm beginning to think you're not the real Margot Robbie.
It's almost scary how good I am at acting...
But a bet MargotRobbie is a real Margot Robbie.
In star wars, he didn't play a black guy, he played an alien.
The real human homeworld is actually in the Star Wars galaxy.
Don't worry about it. It's not Tattoine. We didn't destroy that climate too.
(It is, we did)
Well, he does play Nick Fury.
He plays a white guy in Kingsmen.
White guy with a lisp, you almost can’t recognize him
Nick Fury was Black in the (first) Ultimate universe
I'm not a Marvel guy, but I'm vaguely aware of that. But as someone who only read the occasional comic as a kid, it's something I only learned of after the movies.

Nick Fury wasn't always a black character.
That is true. They changed him to look like Sam Jackson. And then they started making Marvel movies afterwards, and were able to cast him as Nick Fury.
Plus you're just repeating what multiple other people have already said a day ago.
Jim Steranko art style was unique.
You can't prove his character in Inglorious Basterds isn't white
Because when he tried to play a white guy he got sued by Dave Chappelle.
Because he's good at playing outlaws, duh. /s
It's not me guys!
(black) samuel_jackson
He didn't play a black guy in Coming to America.
Or the boondocks
