You just don`t see the same type of all-purpose entertainers nowadays.
There`s no white person I know that can say that they haven`t been through what any of these Black characters are going through.
The Wood was about young people and the other one is more of a grown up movie.
The large ensemble cast and the fact that it was being shot in New York, combined with a lot of strong positive images as far as African Americans are concerned, really turned me on to The Best Man.
On the set I never know what day of the week it is.
Not one role that I`ve played has been written specifically for me.
Like I went out to a predominantly black club last night and nobody said anything and I was wishing somebody would so that someone would dance with me.
It`s a trip but it hasn`t crossed over to the point where women are throwing their panties at me.
It has been refreshing that the last four roles that I`ve done have not been so blatantly sexual with me being put on some imaginary pedestal.
I`m always up for going back to the stage.
I would love for film to go back to those days where you had to be able to do everything just to get by.
I keep all my clothes on in House on Haunted Hill, Mary Jane`s Last Dance, and The Way of the Gun.
I jump at any chance to go back into theater.
But then all that died down and as far as casting was concerned it didn`t really matter that I had been on Broadway.
All my friends from my past would know me as Scott Diggs. |
