I truly respect a man saying no. A black man saying no to wearing a dress to satisfy Hollywood for a dollar. Thank you for standing strong. Its not about a acting job. When he states so many appetites in the industry, I felt him telling the truth and not wavering from what he is and not willing to do. The trend seems to be men of color more than anything else , and I am glad they are standing up and strong and many are saying no. Amen Doug E Doug. Its beyond a dress it's about your spirit, your legacy and what you fight for and against.

I love Doug E Doug. I’ve encountered him many times in life and it was always a positive experience. When I was a teenager while walking past a building in Brooklyn with an older male cousin; someone said “Busta, Red man and Dougie are in the studio up there”. I loved Busta and didn’t know this was the Doug E they were talking about. I got outside of the studio and was so damn nervous. Suddenly I heard someone say, a girl is outside she wanted to meet y’all. A voice said “tell her to come in” and I bolted because the tone was uncomfortable. As I stood outside telling my cousin what happened, Doug E came out put his arm around my shoulder and gave me a wonderful speech that a young black woman needed to hear. I later met Busta on several occasions; I was so glad that I met Doug and not him that day. Doug later became a client at the Merrill lynch branch I worked at. He bought a building blocks away from where I lived. I loved his comedy, I loved acting and he the Man is a wonder representation of what we need from black men.

He was kinda famous in Fort Greene for having a house up the block from me. I always remembered and respected him after he visited my elementary school.

[@michaelmidax8108]

Cool Runnings was my favorite movie as a kid. I didn't realize that I haven't seen him in so long. But seeing him and hearing his stance on issues like this, I'm a fan all over again. As the great, Denzel Washington, once warned other young African actors and actresses, "You'll be defined more by what you say "no" to. Then by the things you say "yes" too." I personally have an older sister that is a lesbian and a younger sister that is a lesbian and I love them dearly. And when they dress like me and our brothers it is BCZ THEY WANTED AND CHOSE TO. Most of us black heterosexual men don't want to dress as a women, so to emasculate us by asking us to dress like a woman bcz "it's funny" has always been insulting to me. And when I've seen black entertainers dawn the dress, it has always broken my heart. To think of the fear and thoughts that their careers will be halted and their way of providing for their families will be taken, they do it. And everytime you see them in that "funny bit/part" the knowledge that the smile on their face is one that is forced. It's a sad sight

[@alondathomas293]

Oh, come on. Every man does not think it's "emasculating" to be in a dress. Tyler Perry sure as hell has no problem with it, and neither did Flip Wilson. Wearing the dress definitely helped their careers, lol. Sounds like the interviewer was way too hung up on that. Doug explains pretty well why he chose not to do that. Used to see him everywhere in the '90s from Cool Runnings to Hanging With The Homeboys (really good movie) to that other revamped Cosby Show he was on, and that late-night black comic showcase show---can't recall the name, but it was hilarious. He was funny too, in whatever he was in. It seemed like he just disappeared after he was in the remake of the Disney film That Darn Cat in '96, so it's intetesting to hear that he chose to leave the biz on his own. Good to see him again after all these years, giving real stories about surviving in show biz

Cool runnings was one of my favorite movies but the fact this man did not get sucked in, seems wise and healthy and aware. Praise the Lord for his wisdom and knowledge and understanding.
