When I think of how racism has impacted Black actors, my mind doesn’t first go to our superstars.

It goes to those forgotten actors that I always really enjoyed watching. But, we’ll never know what could’ve been.

Glenn Plummer.

OG Bobby Johnson.

To be sure.

Carlton lined the fuck out of Top Dog here.

But, sometimes being a great actor means helping your scene mate get there.

What a random thread.

But, dude just had a face and style.

Hard to come by.

I knewwwww I fucked with Glenn.

He’s talking about Colors, a film about two white cops (Sean Penn, Robert Duvall) who “try to stop LA gang violence.”

He’s talking about how Sean was being extremely rough.

But, listen to what he told Sean Penn.

lmaoooo

KING

And here’s the scene.

He was beating Sean Penn’s ass lmaooooooooo.

I am truly dead at Penn cutting out the frying pan.

You can rhythmically see where it was probably supposed to happen too.

Wild this came out three years before LAPD’s attack on Rodney King.
