>Half black, half Korean, half Hispanic, half Italian, and half white. What did they mean by this?
>>
>>217393688
Yeah, it's funny because he doesn't even speak Spanish.
>>
>>217393688
keeps him flexible from being typecast as nigga characters but then he got typecast as villains instead
>>
>>217393688
I saw him at a club once I said hispanic at the disco
>>
>>217393688
>>half black
>>half italian
so full black.
>>
>>217393688
Wait, he's not hispanic?
>>
>>217393824
She's made out of five halves?
>>
>>217394076
go back to school if you don't understand multiple halves
>>
>>217393688
It's funny because he's one of the few mulattos who identifies more with his non black side
>>
>>217393688
They mean everyone watched Breaking Bad and loved Gustavo, so they'll continue to cast him as varying shades of Gus.
>>
>>217393688
What makes it funny is how he can't speak Spanish to save his life, kind of like Danny Trejo. He's still a good actor, though.
>>
>>217393909
Yeah, that's a lot more than a drop.
>>
>>217394238
Sounds fine to normal people.
>>
>>217393688
Italians are honorary hispanic

>>217393771
How DID they come to be, Saruman?
>>
>>217393771
Weren't those the Spanish?
>>
>>217394270
How would you know, though?
>>
>>217394332
I kidnapped a normal person and made him tell me.

The actor in the OP is Giancarlo Esposito. He and Sam Jackson are both in Do The Right Thing. Did you think they were the same character?

He played a black Italian in Homicide: Life on the Street. Eat shit.

>>217393688

>SHAWTY WAS A WOP?

>>217395829
I feel the same way. He was a talented and hard-working actor since the 80s who appeared in many more movies than people generally aware of. I'm always rooting for these guys.
Therefore when Esposito got his big break with BB I was happy for him. I'm not closely familiar with everything he's done since but what I've seen didn't impress me. It was busywork.
>>
>>217393688
In this world you're either white or you're not
>>
>>217394578
black movies are like one man shows to me.
>>
>>217396273
Hollywood likes people to be one race. Either you're white, or you're black, or you're Hispanic, or you're Asian, or you can be something a bit more exotic like Indian or the other type of Indian, but it has to be one thing so you can fit in a mold. If you're a mix of multiple things then they don't know where to place you or how to market you. Unless you manage to have a breakout role somehow, then you can be marketed from your name.
