In this clip, Michael Jai White talked about the key roles he turned down so far in his career. He said he got approached to play Marvin Gaye, but that he ultimately turned it down. He didn’t want to be a “buff a** Marvin Gaye.”
He noted that he doesn’t worship actors and certain roles you have to take to advance. Vlad spoke on Lord Jamar saying that black male actors only reach a certain level of success after they wear a dress in a major role. White noted that he didn’t have to do that.
