Right …. Those Tyler perry films are not on his level

[@troystewart2909]

He probably CAN NOT get other roles because he can not act. He didn't really act as the character Carlton. He just recited lines as himself. When you know how to act, you can make people at an audition say "Carlton Who ".

[@NoseyNuNu]

He did that show with LL Cool J after Fresh Prince lol

[@lashell1295]

I think since he feels the bc aka bw are not supporting his "career", he should go ask the wc aka wp aka ww to help him out. That is who he wants to be with and who he values. He should ask without hesitation or it being problem.

[@Karabo_Mash]

He ruined his own career. Will's character was even better than his and he has done every single character since. He is just looking to blame someone.

[@YOUR-WORD-IS-YOUR-BOND]

That means those people aren't really creative...

[@ApoloKabali]

Why would someone who has grownup in hollywood need someone else to rejump his career? I think their problem is they feel more entitled than the rest.

Alfonso didn't need to comment on Tyler. He appears good.
