Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
But isn't the role more a younger man in his 20s/early 30s?
Sidney Poitier was 34 when he played Walter Lee. Danny Glover was in his 40's.
In fact, I think that it gives the role a different depth when played by an older actor. The desperation of Walter Lee to "make good" takes on a whole new meaning with an older actor.
But doesn't he make reference to being only 24 when he married Ruth? And then being married to her for 11 years to Mr. Lindner?
If anyone saw Air Guitar Nation, I had like the greatest L&O sighting on SVU this weekend: world champion C-Diddy, doing a scientist-who-exposits-test-results dayplayer role. There was a conspicuous lack of Hello Kitty breastplate under his lab coat.
Aimee, I can't recall. It's been a while since I read it. I should rectify that.
It's gonna get added to my Book List. I hope this doesn't come as, I don't know, dumb or somethin', but I really need to expand my African-American reading. I have to read Roll of Thunder for my Children' Lit class, but thus far, all I've ever read by any African-American author is Beloved. And that was in high shool. It's part of the reason I watched "Raisin" last night.
Don Cheadle? Harold Perrineau? Chiwetel Ejifor?
Yes, please.
...oh you wanted serious discussion?
Nutty, you can have all of them as long as Michael Ealy finds his way to me.
Aimee I could send you a care package of paperbacks if you are interested.
msbelle, I would LOVE that. Truly.
Aimee, the Norton Anthology of African American Literature gives you a lot of bang for your buck. It's $40 at Half.com and at amazon.
