I decided to start this topic because i was reading the responses like GarfieldKool was saying about Eddie Murphy making terrible decisions with the wack movies he's done after Boomerang. Here's a list of actors i'm gonna name that seem like they'll be in any movie to get money instead of choosing movies that have a message to them or just good movies.



Pam Grier
Snoop Dogg
Ja Rule
Ice T
Kadeem Hardison
Todd Bridges
Clifton Powell
Tyrin Turner
Renaldo Rey
Tiny Lister
LisaRaye
Method Man
Sticky Fingaz and Fredro Starr of rap group Onyx


Notice that the actors/rappers i named are black LOL. I'm sure there are some white actors who will be in any movie to get paid but i can't think of their names right now. A actor is supposed to be versatile and not play the same character every movie. Most rappers will play the same character in movies and that's pathetic. Will Smith, LL Cool J, Queen Latifah, Ice Cube, Eve are the only rappers i can think of that have played different characters in movies.

Pam Grier is not what she used to be, and Tyrin Turner didn't even much have a career after Menace II Society. The rest of them usually appears in all that straight to DVD crap.

It seems to me that SOME OF THOSE mentioned above are actually taking movies that are presented to them, WHICH IS NOT A LOT, it's not like they are legit actors who have script after script being dropped in their laps. They want to make movies and have no choice but to take the crap that is offered to them. People who are legit actors/actresses will have better options.

Many actors will accept roles in mediocre movies simply because they need the money. This goes for even big stars. Lots of the male stars have a couple of families to support, and they have to maintain their style of living which costs a lot of money. They have enormous overhead with their homes, cars, planes, and a lot of their employees depend on them.

It's often just like us, but on a much grander scale. The more money they make, the more they need to make to keep the wheels of their lives turning.
