So, all the black men are emasculated?
My manager would be fired on the spot for even bringing me some shyt like that.
The unfortunate reality of this is that even with people turning down the role, there will always be someone else who jumps at the chance to play it.
Max Julien turned down the role of Marcellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction yet Ving Rhames jumped at the chance.
According to Samuel L. Jackson, for the part of Marsellus Wallace, Mia’s husband, who is violated in the rape scene, Tarantino originally considered Max Julien, who played Goldie in the 1973 blaxploitation film The Mack. “Max Julien wasn’t going to do that,” says Jackson of the anal rape. “He’s the Mack*.* He’s Goldie. He’s like, ‘No, I don’t think my fans want to see that.’ ” Ving Rhames, the theater veteran, who grew up in Harlem, however, actually embraced the rape scene. “Because of the way I look, I don’t ever get the opportunity to play many vulnerable people,” he has said. “He was very alone in his unconcern,” says Tarantino, adding, “It was a sheer mark of his masculinity.”
