I have the right to ask.... but I understand.

[assydingo]

I don't get why anyone cares if someone's favorite actor is Martin Lawrence.

IDC.. my Q was based off the large amount of African American actors... I am actually a HUGE Martin Lawrence fan and feel he is WAY under rated!! He could end up on my list by the end...

It came off like you were criticizing his opinion. I misunderstood.

But why a person prefers something doesn't really matter. Maybe Czar just likes his style of comedic acting. Or he grew up watching movies that he starred in.

Exactly right! I grew up off What's Happening Now, then he had a small part in Do the Right Thing. I loved him as Belau in the first 2 House Party's! But what took the cake was him hosting Def Comedy Jam and his tv sitcom Martin! Then Bad Boys came and it was on from there! Got Em!!
