[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's called aging out. He is a Gen X actor who had a prime in the 2000s. He's also made a ton of really, reallllllllly bad movies. [/quote] That's the whole point -- he's made a bunch of terrible movies because he wants to work and those are the only jobs he gets offered. And it's not about aging out -- he's been having this problem for 20 years even when he was fresh off of Amistad or Blood Diamond, high profile prestige movies where his work was extremely well reviewed. The PP who said he gets typecast is correct and let's be even more clear -- he gets typecast as a slave because of his appearance. He's played a slave in multiple movies. How many white actors have played a slave multiple times? How is that NOT systemic racism. It is so weird to me people are even arguing this.[/quote] Not casting white peopl as slaves in movies like Amistad is systemic racism? That is some very convoluted thinking. [/quote]
