RIP Jim Brown

He was arguably the greatest all-around running back of all time.

It's said he never ran out of bounds to avoid a tackle. Never is a long time, but I for one never saw it.

Kingsley Ben-Adir has become very familiar to television audiences from his appearances on the Netflix drama The OA and the BBC series Peaky Blinders, along with a breakout role as Malcolm X in the acclaimed film One Night In Miami... Now, he's back on the big screen playing another larger than life role, starring as legendary reggae artist Bob Marley in the new biopic Bob Marley: One Love. As he did with Malcolm X and with his role as President Barack Obama in the miniseries The Comey Rule, Ben-Adir spoke about how he took a very distinct approach to playing a real-life character like Marley and explained his process. 

Bob Marley: One Love opens in theaters on February 14.

Leslie Odom Jr. isn’t feeling very happy right now. As he rightfully points out, the string of terrifying world events is enough to give him pause. However, as he pointedly clarifies, he is feeling joyful. Spending time with his children and community and pouring himself into his creative practices as an actor and musician have allowed him to access a bedrock emotion beyond happiness. It’s an emotion that, after a season that he describes as one of “the most intense periods of growth in my life,” he’s ready to finally reclaim.

Remembering Jim Brown 1936-2023

NFL football star, activist and actor Jim Brown has died at 87. In the 2020 movie One Night in Miami (read my review here), Brown was played by Aldis Hodge and he talks about starting to act and get involved with the civil rights movement at that point and time, 1964.

In terms of his movie career (beyond everything else he accomplished), he had great supporting turns in The Dirty Dozen, The Running Man, I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, Original Gangstas (not one of his best movies, but it was cool to see him, Fred Williamson and Pam Grier co-starring in a movie), He Got Game, Small Soldiers, and Any Given Sunday. But one of his coolest scenes was when he fought an alien in Mars Attacks!.
