The last time i saw him he was still hosting those summer soul festivals he always does in the carribean. He's a funny guy & one of the few black comedians who is funny without cursing.

You have a point he doesn't swear like the rest of the comedins I think he should do go back to acting he is ONE of the BEST.

ITA with all of you! I think Sinbad is one of the most talented comedians of our time for all those above reasons.

CARLTON: For a long time it gave me nightmares... witnessing an
injustice like that. It's a constant reminder of just how unfair this world can be. I can still hear them taunting him..."Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids!" I mean, WHY COULDN'T THEY JUST GIVE HIM SOME CEREAL?!?

that's rare indeed. i'm normally immediately turned off if someone is dropping a bunch of unneccessary wrods for the sake of shock value. i haven't seen him for a while though.

Has anybody seen Sinbad's Houseguest movie with Phil Hartman? I rented it from the library one day & it was funny as hell. LOL@Sinbad's car he was driving at the beginning of the movie hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. That car was a piece of junk.

LANGUAGE WARNING

If you’re a child of the nineties, chances are you grew up loving Sinbad. Also known as David Atkins, Sinbad began his comedy career as a contestant on Star Search before nabbing his breakout role on the Cosby Show spin-off, A Different World, where he played Coach Walter Oakes; he served as a mentor to the main cast, who all played students at the fictional Hillman College. His distinctive look made him instantly identifiable, and it wasn’t long before he started showing up in movies, with roles in Necessary Roughness and Coneheads.

His career was unusual because most people went to TV after their movie careers cooled down. For Sinbad, it was the opposite. His solo TV show, The Sinbad Show, was a flop, but shortly afterwards, his movie career went into high gear, with him appearing in a string of hit movies. His biggest hit was Houseguest opposite the late Phil Hartman, but he also co-starred with Arnold Schwarzenegger in Jingle All The Way and made a well-received Disney film called First Kid. And no, we did not star in Kazaam (blame the Mandela Effect for that one).

Oddly, after three successful films, Sinbad’s career cooled around 2000, and no one knows why. In this episode of WTF Happened to this Celebrity, we dig into the inexplicable cooling of this terrific comic actor’s career, as well as shining a light on some of the health challenges he’s faced as the beloved star recovers from a debilitating stroke.

Do you have fond memories of Sinbad?
