Speaking of banks: "Forest Whitaker"

[Cazzie]

Not only does he have my Christian first name (spelled correctly too), but he is one of the best of the black actors out there. Yet look at what of executive of finance had to say about "my man". This is not America talking either, this is Australia.

I guess no country is free of bigots. Kind of makes me want to go see the movie.

The fellow did get one thing correct, however. Mr. Whitaker is Black. :)

man! what an awesome actor!!! how many of you remember one of his first films, fast times at ridgemont high?
i also really loved him in ghost dog, way of the samurai. the concept seems a little far-fetched when you read it, but it is brilliantly executed. it's a vastly underated film.

He's an outstanding actor. "Last King Of Scotland", was an incredible Oscar worthy performance as Idi Amin. Definitely recommend if you enjoy good acting. :kilroy:

I dont know about ugliness but I aint a top model either anyway :costumes: Ugly but kinda likable. And isn't likability bankable in Hollywood :d ?

Yes he was pretty good in Jarmusch's "Ghost dog : the way of the samurai", Jarmusch can really make the most of a guy like FW...

Jarmusch is indeed himself underrated. "Down by law" and "mystery train" were pretty good movies.

How about Tommy Lee Jones? Christ, the man's ugly enough to put scabs on a dog's arse! :d

The all time ugliest of them all was, I guess, the wonderful Marty Feldman of Young Frankenstein's fame.

One who gives me the willies is Christopher Walken :d...

Some folks are just ignorant. Or even worse, stupid.

Please Dave, it's Forest with one 'r'. Up there in the North they spell it Forrest and pronounce it For-rest, down here in the great land of Dixie (Forest is a Southerner too), it's spelled Forest and pronounced Far-est. Not trying to be cheeky, it's the truth. :d
