[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I totally agree with his point about systemic racism but I wonder if his accent has really limited his roles.  Can you think of any mainstream actor with a non-American accent?  The British ones like Tom Holland do really good American fakes, as does Nicole  Kidman. Can he fake a good American accent?  I think that’s really important if you want to male it in Hollywood.  [/quote]

Maybe his agent is the issue. The Agency had a part (Osman) he could have played very well, with an accent. I have an accent myself so I think it's a fair point it limits people. It limited my ability to get certain jobs.[/quote]

Yeah, I also wondered if he has a bad agent .  Seems like he could have gotten a part in one of the Black Panther movies or one of the other dozen or so movies set in Africa over the past 20 years.  Obviously that’s a limited universe but with something like amistad on his resume you’d think he would have been in the running for more of those movies.[/quote]
