Jenifer Lewis the worst case of typecasting?

[Kaypain]

Almost every role she's been in it has been the same role. A mother/guardian

From The Temptions to The Brothers, to even Think Like A Man

Even her voice acting is a mother role.

Just look at her character names. Mama Rose

It's a damn shame

 

[CEITEDMOFO]

True always playing the great auntie role. Clifton Powell in that category as well. He always typecast as some criminal

 

[Mr210]

Yep, she is so loud, she was the same way on fresh prince

Jenifer Lewis has gotta be the most typecasted black actress in Hollywood

In the new romantic/comedy/drama, Jenifer plays the sassy, tough, but loving divorced mom/aunt of *insert b list black actor here*

I think the only person who has her beat as far as being typecasted is Clifton Powell. I never met the dude but I've learned not to trust that shady ass nygga...

Interesting thread. Somebody got exposed

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

The thing is she's really eloquent, but easily got stuck in that role. It's actually annoying she's been aunt Helen for like 27 years and counting
