Michael is one of them people I watch an interview of and think this is a dude I'd like to have a conversation with. Totally normal, humble and definitely would be a good hang

[@nexis001]

Love this guy.

I love the fact that Michael Jai White is the epitome of "minding the business that pays me."

[@mubarakthesimple]

I hate Hollywood for not giving this man the roles he really deserves. I have watch his movies and became a huge fan like the boyeka one, and never back down but he is so legendary. His mind, thoughts are so on another level. Love this guy so much...

[@saitamassj2475]

Blood and bone is one of my favs of his, next to Spawn

P.S. we need to start a campaign for the release of the Michael Jai White Cut of "Spawn."

I liked the movie Spawn too. John Leguizamo character always scared me. He is right the people who watched the movie who read the comics didn't see the movie being that bad. It's been quite some time when I have seen the movie but what i remember it was dark and scary like the comics. He's very humble and also is honest. When he said when a person does not do the work before getting the fame then you are doomed. We have seen the cautionary tales time and time again when ego and money mixed with fame is a bad cocktail whenever someone has yes people around them.

[@tyronewilliams7821]

Michael you should let your mom have that joy. She deserve that plus more. I know sometimes it gets annoying but that might be all she has. Having a famous son is a blessing and she has bragging rights.
