He's definitely not a great actor, but to the OP's point most of the roles Jesse's had are naive, in over their head types which I think fits him. Whereas Ashton is always playing a troubled young hood dude which can come across as inauthentic at times. As far as actors from Moonlight, Jharrel Jerome is better imo. Dude killed it in When They See Us

Def should be getting more work smh

I hate that nikka

His whole character ruined Shaft

Nicca need to go be the new Jett Jackson or some shyt and leave the movies alone.

The problem is that his dour, confused yet quietly mad at the world demeanor worked in Moonlight and after it was quickly revealed that it was his only lane.

How the fukk he got tapped to be RZA in the Wu Tang show is beyond me :snoop:

very simple. He’s a well known young actor.

Fair. Crazy thing is that 4 years ago I really thought Ashton would be where LaKeith Stanfield is at today (in terms of talent) I guess he really needs a Barry Jenkins type director. Jerome was excellent in They See Us.

He just needs to switch it up. He's getting typecasted in a role that I don't even think fits him naturally

Take Brian T. Henry for instance. We can all watch his interviews and peep son coming off sweeter than a cup of watermelon lemonade on a 70 degree day. But once he tap into that Paper Boy mode, it's very much believable. It's not the same with da Ashton nicca even though they both suppose to be classically trained. A. Sanders just come off try hard in these kind of roles to the max.





An interview with **** and @Paper Boi ? This gotta be a Coli creation right? :russ:

I mean... I get talking about how bad an actor you think he is, but I'm not down for implying shyt about a fellow black man just to make the point
