This black guy who plays the principal is a very good actor. I've seen him in movies such as Cradle 2 The Grave, Paid In Full, Narc, Hoodlum. I like watching Boston Public because of him. His daughter on the show is kinda cute. Loretta Devine who plays on Boston Public with him was in the movie Hoodlum with Chi as his woman. Hoodlum is a good movie. Larry Fishburne, Vanessa Williams, Clarence Williams III, Tim Roth, Cicely Tyson were in it.

McBride is a great actor on BP. He was firm yet cool, calm, and relaxed. He doesn't overact, either. My favorite scene involving him was the episode where this racist student attacked a black student and later attacked a teacher. McBride's character, Harper, comes in and yells, "Mr. (what's his name) get your damn hands off her!!!" and throws a chair and approaches the student in a threatening manner. He then tells him in a low voice, "You're suspended." His character has gone through a lot. He was almost fired by the super intendent and he was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter (the racist kid's father confronted him, tried to attack him with a post or something, slipped, hit his head on the desk and later died.) He was later cleared.

I remember that episode. The only reason why i watch the show now is because my mother is a big fan of the show. I like it though. Chi was also in Gone In 60 Seconds movie.

Chi doesn't have to worry about being unemployed cause he's been busy lately. He's in Will Smith's new movie I, Robot & he's in Tom Hanks & Catherine Zeta Jones new movie The Terminal.

Chi is also gonna be on a new tv show called Killer Instinct coming on the Fox network this fall. It looks like his character is a cop on the show handling bizarre crimes. I saw a bunch of big insects falling on Chi on the commercial. I said ughhh.
