Black Quotes
One of the things about being a minority actor is that you don't have that opportunity as some of your counterparts to keep that flow, to constantly be going from one thing to the other, so when you see really great performances out there by some black folks, you know it's coming from somewhere deep, because they just don't work as much.

And it created this ridiculous controversy and wound up being the last Hollywood movie that Sam [Fuller] made.
