I tend to see it in the affirmative, though, i.e., I'm not 'against' DD-L's performance, I am just more enthusiastic about and inspired by Washington's portrayal of Whitaker!

Here's to more nuanced roles in film -- for African Americans and everybody else as well! And to more actors of Washington's caliber who can pull it off. <br />Vicki Haddock Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
