I'm thinkin his acting ability fucks me up cuz he has got to be one of the worst ever... His acting is terrible

 

[playmaker88]

Robert Townsend: a new kind of Hollywood dreamer. Actor-producer-director plans to make films that uplift and transform Black audiences...

u can be nerd and still be a good actor or put forth good work. all black men dont act or carry themselves the same. but having said that he is a pretty bad actor

So his appeal is that he's not a coon?

Hollywood Shuffle is probably his biggest contribution.

That movie is still accurate almost 30 years later.

Niiiggggaaaaa..... The Meteor Man, Hollywood Shuffle, The Five Heartbeats >>>>

I would love to see a remake of The Meteor Man even if it had a serious tone...man Robert Townsend came at a time where we NEEDED him..his contribution is on the level of Spike even though he didn't keep going for some reason..I remember when Meteor Man dropped..shit a BLACK SUPERHERO facing black problems!! That shit was dope as hell

Regardless what you think of him, he's a legend.
