Has Anthony Mackie become the token black guy in hollywood.

[Ain't That Something]

It seems like every movie I see him in he playing a supporting role to a white lead. I mean the man got to eat but damn somebody get him a lead role

 

[Premeditated]

glad somebody has brought this up. And he usually plays the same role. It seems like he just takes any role he can get. In alot of them, his character lacks charisma. Sorry, but you a black man in Hollywood, there better be something about you that stands out. It's like he just plays the normal black friend. Nothing interesting. That's not gonna get you leading roles. Look at Denzel and Sam, when they're on your screen, they command your attention. They have charisma. Both their voices are distinct kind off. Will Smith also very well has all of this.

He did very well in Hurt Locker, but Jeremy Renner was the star of the movie because he played the more interesting and charismatic character.

 

[Suicide King]

He seems pretty one dimensional compared to Derek Luke.

Thank you. Everytime I see him on screen his characters just screams "safe negro".

As long as he gets paid....not too many high profile films out there with a black male as the lead if you aint Sam, Will, Denzel, or Don and sometimes Tucker

This. It's not as if he's turning down more prestigious roles to be "the safe negro". Black folks trip over each other trying to find a way to put another brother down. shyt's sickening.

Who the fukk is going to go see a movie with Anthony Mackie in the lead?

Yup. Mackie just needs to stick to that character actor life.

Still think Nate Parker can be a leading man though.

Spike tried with She Hate Me and that almost fukked up Mackie's career and Kerry Washington's.

There is a reason why Nia Long and Rosario Dawson turned it down.

yeah, hes still new. His time will come. Sam has been in hundreds of movies but he didnt have the type of roles Mackie has now when he was Mackie age. Every negro aint going to be a high profile actor anyways. He gon get that "Avengers 2" money tho

Did Morgan Freeman die?
