Why isn't Michael Jai White a bigger action star?

[FaTaL]

Probably because Sticky Fingaz asked for less money.

neither guy had leverage

blade tv show

it was down to sticky and white for the role as blade, they picked sticky

lets be real white looks the part but he just doesnt have that extra it takes to be a lead actor

look at idris, white doesnt have that edge he has

Yeah and how long did this TV show last

 

[Nintendough]

He should be a major action star right now, not doing tyler perry shyt. What a waste of talent.

sticky fingers n!gga!

u think van dam and those nikkas you listed are losing roles to sticky fingers?

It dont even matter b/c it was an epic fukk up and that show was atrocious. Sticky couldnt act his way out of a wet paperbag. Yall talking shyt about White not being able to act obviously havent seen Thick As Thieves and his character Pointy Williams. He'll be on Arrow this upcoming season and he's pretty damn funny as Black Dynamite.

At yelling Cism and just ignoring he just doesn't have it. Like Godling said he shy'd away from action movie initially. I don't know who he was getting advice from but he should have been eating off them joints. He coulda have been the black Statham. This isn't the 80's/90's where action stars blew up.

At comparing these bums to Jackie, he pretty much created his own lane with his Martial Arts/ Comedy films. He makes films with a bit more range overseas but he knew what suited him best in America

MJW has been in more and bigger movies than Sticky.

Segal was a big star until the mid 90s

He was a Star but not a big star. cmon man. Stallone, Arnold, were BIG stars. its layers to this shyt man.

Them dudes werent big stars either tho.

Well Jackie was. and look at what Jackie did. that shyt blew Americas mind when he first came over here.

Not only that,Jackie has a big Asian backing.....He was doing movies along time before he came over here

 

[Sunalmighty]

He doesn't have range at all man. Well, not as an action star. I mean he can fight but he is emotionless. When it comes to Tyler Perry films, he somehow has range. Maybe those types of roles come naturally lol like "I put up with this shyt all the time lol"

 

[Francis White]

He is average at best, he has a good look but after that what can he do ? Stringer had a look where he could play a drug lord and then a cop in London . He can play a pilot in space and still be believable . White has no range and can only play soldiers, cops and villains. Anyone who thinks he can be a real star is insane.

Like or not everything he said was on point

I'm actually Hispanic but close enough for the Coli
