Lives in Pacific Palisades and Porter Ranch, California.Personal Quotes
I have never made a decision based on race and never will. I am admiring of my
fellow peers, black filmmakers and black actors and actresses. When (Halle Berry)
and (Denzel Washington) won Oscars, I felt pride because I was black, but never
did I analyze their win based on color.It's a director's job to tell a story and he's very well versed in telling stories
with a bit of comedy in them and keeping the pace of the movie right and that's
exactly what he did. He was observant of a world he didn't understand but he told
a wonderful story.Now, I have big-money offers on three movies, and I have director approval. That's
kind of scary,' he says. 'No directors have been attached. That's a lot of pressure on me.
