For a while it was the actor that plays Lafayette on True Blood. He was awesome.



But now he's over-the-top - almost cartoonish - they've really jumped the shark with his character.

.

OK majority of these I haven't seen or not into but I must give my thumbs up to
Geordi, Tuvok, Worf, Uhuru, Ford, Teal'c and Sisko. And I love, love Teyla [strikeout]but the woman (Rachel) playing her isn't black but of Polynesian or Islander descent not that I think it makes a difference but I think she takes great pride in her heritage, and[/strikeout] I love her so giving respect. Correcting I've never seen her listed as black but as an islander so my mistake.


And there's nothing stopping people from making whatever thread they want within limits obviously.



Ooops his pic was listed removed parentheses.

How about these two ladies from "Orange Is the New Black."

I think they are outstanding... and their performances are great to watch.

Well I do not believe Rachel is Polynesian. According to IMDB Rachel Zawadi Luttrell was born in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, and is the second-born of four daughters to Veronica Makihiyo Shenkunde Luttrell, the daughter of a powerful medicine man of the Washambala tribes people.
