In this clip, Aries Spears explores the topic of Black actors in Hollywood, particularly Samuel L. Jackson and Denzel Washington, and white Hollywood’s views on their popularity. He suggested that while both actors are successful, their perceived value differs favorably compared to homegrown actors in Black communities. Aries argues that Jackson and Washington’s films cost an amount that does not usually earn a satisfactory return because of their high production budgets, leading to debates about their profitability. They also discuss independent filmmakers, the strike’s impact on actors’ work, and how the show business industry needs to value both “show” and “business” equally. They assert that there needs to be a balance between gaining profits and delivering high-quality movies for viewers, as the public expects and wants quality work. They also briefly touch on digitization, including the efficacy of AI, which some audience members reportedly disputed. To hear more, including Aries comparing Denzel and Samuel to Jordan and LeBron, hit the above clip.
