I mean I know he had Oj simpson story, but cuba was starring in some straight to dvds movies..

I mean, he was the lead and maybe he was getting paid, but damn he had boys in the hood, Jerry McGuire, and men of honor type roles at first?

He should be on Denzel level, in some roles, he's even better than him...

I always wondered what happened to his career as well... he won an Oscar and is actually a good actor. I thought the OJ movie would revive his career, but I don't think I've seen him in anything since.

He was just in last season's "American Horror Story: Roanoke"

Idk but the ***** is aging like a raisin in the sun. He used to be so fine in the 90s... smh.

Tragic.

He's an excellent actor tho.

His breakout mainstream Hollywood role got him an Oscar, but he hadn't proved himself to be a box office draw. For the most part, Cuba was way more known in the black community than the white one.

I could have sworn he got cancelled by the black community at some point for being a "sellout"

All I know is that back in the late nineties/early 2000s, he was in the Pacific Northwest and actin the ****. The drinking was just sloppy. Lots of stories of him going to the Red Sea in PDX and hitting up all the Beckies while sloppy drunk. Can't confirm nor deny but when you allow your self to succumb to substance abuse and do so publicly, there's always hell to pay. At least, that's what I had heard.

He just starred in the huge OJ series. His resume speaks for itself. He has over 80+ credits in major productions. He hasn't missed a meal nor credit. His SAG-AFTRA checks look better then our checks combined. He isn't bothering anyone. What is wrong with our people? Is he that new young 20 something year old? Do you see Tom Cruise everywhere? So please

His career probably crashed and burned because of his alleged drinking problem and because he is a lousy actor. Casting him as OJ Simpson was probably one of the worst mis-castings of the 21st century -- disappointing because the other actors delivered strong performances.

Hated him as O.J.... way to whiny, high pitched voice, and small. Honestly he was the worst cast member. Even David Schwimmer played Kardashian well.

Boat Trip was one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life. I actually felt sorry for all the actors in it. They must have all really needed the money.

He's a white women lover and he's a "Terrance Howard" whiny type actor! Horrible.

He's still around? I'm confused by this thread.

He seems genuinely nice. I hope he'll get more high-profile roles.
