I will just say "What Vortex said" re: A Raisin In The Sun. I love that play, I've seen it done extremely well, and it hurt to watch P. Diddy mangle it.
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

This. I wanted it to be good. And when he wasn't on screen, it was.

I was talking about Raisin in the Sun with the receptionist here, and we were trying to figure out who could have played the lead other than P. Diddy, and neither of us could come up with a decent African-American actor in his late-20s/early-30s who doesn't look like a kid and could pull of the part. Any ideas out there?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I loved David Oyelowo (Joseph).
I'm glad I watched it, even if it meant I was up until almost 2am doing my homework. Now I have to Netflix the original.

Today is the first baseball practice of Little League.
This makes me weep, because I just looked out the window, and the weather is doing what I can only describe as "pouring down" snow. Not a blizzard, not a snow shower, not a snowstorm -- pouring down snow.
Snowing cats and dogs, if you will.
There is no Little League practice in Cincinnati today.

Watch The Wire. There are a number of cast members who fit that bill.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Don Cheadle? Harold Perrineau? Chewitel Ejifor?

I've heard that Andre 3000 is a pretty good actor (have not seen him, but remember reading reviews praising his work in Four Brothers )
