Mandarin Duck
Majestic and Highfalutin
He was also in Ace Ventura Pet Detective.I never saw it, or the other alleged GOAT - The Wire.
Or Snowfall.
Honestly - I come from East L.A., a couple blocks away from Skid Row in the early-mid 1980s.
I’ve had my lifetime of seeing drugs, the effect of them, and the people who sell them.
I had no desire to watch any shows that feature them heavily - especially (a) romanticized fiction and
(b) from the vantage point of White folks.
Like - I’m the kind of guy who watches movies and goes “what a minute, that doesn’t make any sense…”
and I imagine that’s all I would do watching shows like these.
I never watched it tho.
My father was a private investigator who specialized in missing animals and I knew Jim Carey's depiction wouldn't be accurate.
