My personal favorite recurring role that he had was playing a character named "Pinky" in the Friday series of movies. Pinky is one of those old school guys who is living in the past in terms of fashion and mentality. An old-school player like Jerome from Martin. But he owns a record store that one of the main characters in the movie works at. And any scene with him in it is an instantly hilarious classic. That is, if you don't mind ni99orant comedy.

"Imma show you how we do it up here in Pinky's!"
"You done hit Santa Claus FOOL!"
And yes, I know I picked probably the worst role to brag about a Black actor, but it's hella funny to me. I can't help it.
He's also played a ton of other movie roles and appeared in a littany of movies. Most notably:
- House Party (1990)
- Menace II Society (1993)
- Dead Presidents (1995)
- Why Do Fools Fall in Love (1998)
- Rush Hour (1998)
- The Brothers (2001)
- Bones (2001)
- Ray (2004)
- Woman Thou Art Loosed (2004)
- Norbit (2007)
He's quite a versatile actor in his own right. He may never receive the acclaim of more popular (and quite frankly, better) Black actors like Will Smith, Denzel Washington, Jamie Foxx, or Samuel L. Jackson, but he can definitely hold his own.

Dude has been in a lot of stuff over the years but do you remember when we first saw him back on the show ROC? He was the drug dealer that walked with the cane that Charles Dutton had it out with on the show. That was probably one of his best roles because he played a very serious character.
Good point. Totally forgot about that. Shows his versatility.
