How silly. LOL the inclusion of Bob Downey, Jr. on the basis of his Tropic Thunder stint.
He did an excellent job of it both in 'tude and what some people call "ebonics", very close in characteristics to the actor who advises Larry David,"...wha'cha ought to do...". Although I haven't watched that program in ages so don't know if the same ongoing casting still holds.
R.D.,jr. carried this movie; with the exception of the surprise role of Tom Cruise playing what he may very well turn into being in future.
I think the premise of the 33 photos or whatever is based on a survey that took place because of a revealing article recently discussed by Black Voices pro and con, some people always having been aware and others took the point of view that the guy under discussion wasn't worth sweating it because he surely didn't give(pardon the expression) a rat's ass what his racial background when going about his place in the firmament of stars anyway -- and that is Johnny Depp.
He traces his black ancestry to the 16th.century heritage of a slave woman when the French began growing Indigo and rice in the Carolinas.
