Wood Harris is a LEGEND!!! One of the most versatile actors in the game!

[@russiadavidson3990]

"Attitude reflects Leadership," best quote ever

[@EatinOffMyOwnPlate]

Great quote. But not universally true. It sounds good tho

[@nealfeldpausch715]

It is one of the greatest movies of all time. And he crushed that role.

[@halffullftw]

He had a line that I never forget and always remember - "Attitude reflects leadership - CAPTAIN."

Wood Harris is SO underrated! He makes every role so believable! As Ace in PAID IN FULL he truly deserves an Oscar or whatever the highest acting award is. He deserves it.

[@RushBoogie]

For all the great roles Wood Harris has played I will never forget Avon Barksdale.

[@ggsimmonds1]

The opening 30 seconds was Avon lol

[@richpoe9018]

This a genius right here. Nothing he plays isn't great is beyond. This is an amazing actor. Flowers to the big homie Wood

[@blakstar8219]

He's been in sooo many small screen and big screen roles and he's a staple and truly a great actor he does really well in all his roles as well...

Agreed

[@jasminemonroe5784]

It's good but read the book "Friday Night Lights", watch the movie, then listen to the Director's Commentary.

[@jerseyboy84]

Cool hearing those stories about Denzel. I wouldn’t know but I get the vibe that he’s first class professional. Wood Harris confirms that. I’ll say this I’d listen to Denzel read the phone book and it would inspire me that’s for damn sure.

[@HARVEY_1988]

👍🏾👍🏾

It's still my favorite football film, and possibly sports film. One of those few movies I know almost every line. LEFT SIDE! STRONG SIDE!

[@MADSCIENTISTGONESANE6166]

Also makes sense you've already experienced high school so if you are youthful looking and get casted. You would have already bring a natural feel to a role such as that.

[@sibs124]

I can't believe Wood Harris and Rich are the same age.

Black people aged differently. A 50 year old black male has body, and genetics as avg 30 year old none black male.

Not even trying to be funny but Black 50 and white 50 is two different things

[@DiamondEDC]

One of the great supporting actors of his time, who could flex for certain primary roles. Loves guys like him, Paul Giamatti, Jeffrey Wright, etc.

[@MoMoMyPup10]

Left side, strong side. Phenomenal movie, very historically inaccurate.

[@MushiePuppet17]

True, I loved the movie as a kid. Was mildly disappointed when reading about the real TC Williams team from the early 70's that what they didn't make up, they changed a bunch of the timelines and facts around to make the story more punchy. Oh well, a Disney movie isn't gonna be providing historical accuracy, no how.

[@popeye697]

​@@MushiePuppet17 There isn't a single biopic made that's actually historically accurate. There have to be alterations in order to make the movie entertain an audience.

[@MightMouse2174]

Like the championship game was a blowout !!! The team they beat in the movie they played during the season and were the only team that came close to beating them

[@MoMoMyPup10]

@@MightMouse2174 Plus, they weren't the only interracial school in the area, and Gary played in that game before he got paralyzed in the accident. Two things you would think they could've kept in and still made the same great movie. The blowout, not so much.

Hollyweird always does that. And in many movies, it's some worldly 28 year old playing a teen in high school.......so it doesn't fit the role at all, or seem believable.
