in response to MJACI saying he's only "getting dad roles" even after FREK2 Antibody Nov 24, 18:01

DIdn't he play a dad in Freakier Friday? I don't get it. He's getting roles. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Nov 24, 18:16

He also played the romantic lead. He doesn't want to be pigeonholed as a dad. {nm} Antibody Nov 24, 18:21

When did that movie come out? Three months ago? {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Nov 24, 18:22

Yeah. At least give it a year. {nm} RamsFan2004 Nov 25, 06:13

Agents and studio heads see the film much earlier and can start making offers. {nm} Antibody Nov 25, 07:50

You know a good way of getting more acting jobs? STOP ****ING COMPLAINING! TheWeekendWarrior Nov 24, 18:16

Lupita Nyong'o was speaking out similarly this week (the paucity of lead roles she was offered after winning the Oscar) mr teriffic Nov 24, 18:23

Exactly. She was offered another slave role. Antibody Nov 24, 20:40

Chiwetel Ejiofor literally played the slave in that title and look at the variety of roles he's gotten without winning an Oscar TheWeekendWarrior Nov 25, 06:42

Note the initial complaint is specific to Asian males in romantic lead roles Abraxas Nov 24, 19:02

Manny has played an action villain, a romantic interest, and a Dad...not a bad start to his resume...Chow Yun-Fat was... tealfan Nov 25, 08:44
