Belly was not a bad movie. It was visually very interesting. Every time I ever saw a paraplegic, the story is always about that person's handicap. I said to the Farrellys, If I do this movie, I don't wanta make fun of his handicap. If we got it right, people will forget that he's handicapped. I want balance. I want to see as many black professionals as possible. I don't care if a guy plays a wild, broad, completely downtrodden character, but I also want to see an average joe; the middle class has been completely unrepresented. In this movie, I wanted to do a black-white relationship that wasn't playing on all the old cliches. Y'know, the black guy has just got out of jail or whatever. Most of my friends between 21 and 31 are at different stages of figuring out what the hell they are going to do with their lives. It's a big part of our generation. What is the next step? That was one of the things that interested me about the character. He doesn't want to be a hero, and has no real desire to save the earth or discover aliens. He's sniffing around looking to see what will fall in his lap. That's how I found myself in the advertising world, with my partner. I was trying to get a tape of me doing something that I thought was funny. You give the guy an Image Award three years in a row and then turn on him like that? If that's the role they want to fulfill, they need to send a clearer message. |
