@@mamadouaziza2536 A major problem of Hollywood casting which is still prevalent today is typecasting a black actor. There was work for black actors in the 70's. Hollywood profited from black actors in blaxploitation films. This led to many actors going to Europe to star in films and television. Many others performed in theatrical plays. Calvin Lockhart had done this himself. He starred in a number of films overseas. There may be work for Black actors today but there is still a huge disparity when it comes to the quality of work being offered.

This brother was an incredible actor. The genius of his work was amazing and incredible. This was a great you tube post thank you. The versatility this man had it is really a shame he and many other great actors were stereotyped in Hollywood to play nothing but gangster and pimp roles. Unfortunately nothing has changed quality is overlooked and negativity is praised. Today we are still seeing great talent being limited because they are stereotyped. A lot of music not all and the same with some of these reality TV shows and movies the negativity we see today is definitely nothing but negative influence. I can appreciate entertainment but there are some things that is not necessary to see. Unfortunately for black actors especially during the 70’s we seldom would get positive roles. Calvin made an excellent point when he spoke about unity and being in control of your destiny vs relying on someone else getting work for you. I wish I could have had the honor of meeting him I feel we both share the same similarities in our careers. Being a musician every one and everything that glitter is not always gold. The genius and versatility of this man was beyond just playing a pimp or gangster. The amazing gift this man had to share unfortunately because of racism it’s sad that talent was over looked and not recognized. RIP my brother and thank you for your incredible work.

He was the most beautiful and talented male actors of any race.....the epitome of a movie star. This was the same issue that one of the most gifted actresses ever also had Rosiland Cash. Rosiland refused to take roles that belittled the black race and show us in a bad light, she was an amazing actress, would love for you to do her story next.

That’s right, Tim. I’m working on a feature about the very beautiful Rosalind Cash. She died so young, 56 years of age. One of my favorite roles of her was on “Good Times” when she had a crush on JJ. She was beautiful. Never married. No children. Cancer took her away from us. I’m glad you enjoyed the channel. Please subscribe for more content.

Anthony, this is what Mr. Lockhart was trying to tell everyone. If the blaxploitation films had continued, there would be a black owned and operated movie industry feeding us all. Just remember, there was condemnation against Hip Hop. Now Hip Hop has produced so many millionaires who are able to do other things with their money. Also, there was condemnation against Tyler Perry. Now he owns the largest black owned and operated movie and TV studio in the country. Mafia movies are still being made, giving Italians jobs and income.

Let that man have the kudos he deserves...he is not unsung...I sing his praise.
