I'm not a comedian. I'm an actor who just happens to be funny on occasion.
It's funny in a way the actor is a writer. It's not like the two things are so separate as to be like apples and oranges. The writer and the actor are one.
There's a constant flow of child actors. It's kind of funny to watch the new crew come through. I think You poor little things. You're going to have to struggle for a long time.
Acting is all about big hair and funny props... All the great actors knew it. Olivier knew it Brando knew it.
I think if actors don't think of themselves as funny in real life they think they can't do comedy.
I also think if you're an actor and you can improvise when you go on an audition and you can improvise you're just a genius. If you can you know take a Tide commercial and you can just say one funny line that's not in the commercial they think you're a genius.
You know what? I never really factor Hollywood into anything. I'm a black actor so I can't really control what Hollywood thinks. I gotta go do my thing and my jokes have got to be funny. Whatever I do has got to be great.

I mean sometimes... a comedian becomes an actor and they just don't deliver because the bottom line of comedy is to be funny and the bottom line of acting is to be truthful and they get that mixed up sometimes or don't even notice that that's the thing.
I'm just not one of those naturally funny relaxed actors who enjoy the spotlight and are so good at it.
I mean I've seen 3D films so far and I think it's a long way to go before they replace actors. It's a funny thing with 3D I haven't quite got it yet. Yet.
The comedians I liked were Bill Cosby and Steven Wright like just always as a comedic actor. I always liked Gary Larson who's really funny for a cartoonist obviously.
God writes a lot of comedy... the trouble is he's stuck with so many bad actors who don't know how to play funny.
You know fame is a funny thing man especially you know actors musicians rappers rock singers it's kind of a lifestyle and it's easy to get caught up in it - you go to bars you go to clubs everyone's doing a certain thing... It's tough.
Our philosophy precedes from the belief that sport is an inalienable part of the educational process and a factor for promoting peace friendship cooperation and understanding among peoples.
Eventually I want to be a full-time mother who works occasionally - and being an actor you have that freedom.
In South Africa we could not have achieved our freedom and just peace without the help of people around the world who through the use of non-violent means such as boycotts and divestment encouraged their governments and other corporate actors to reverse decades-long support for the Apartheid regime.
