I realized because he's a black american, he will never get that push to be THE star. However, I don't understand why they don't reach out to him to be in a movie like the expendables, or a fast & furious type series. I could easily see him in some flick going toe to toe with The Rock. Or beating the shyt out of Jason Statham in one of his flicks. That sounds like money to me.

He had the type of role you're talking about in The Dark Knight. :yeshrug:

But I have always said if he was a white guy he'd be the biggest action star in the game just based off of the fact that he is a legitimate fighter and not some Hollywood creation or fake wrestler.

Dude has had a solid career, I wouldn't say he's been blackballed at all. He's been getting steady work for the past 20+ years breh. I think you're reaching a bit. Considering the amount of turkeys he's been in he's overachieved.
