From all the actors/actresses the only two that still remain relevant...


Eddie Murphy (incredibly talented!) and Samuel L. Jackson (he was more as a cameo than anything).

Kind of a shame others looked good.

take any film released that year and it's hard to find 2 actors who are "relevant" in 2015.

Great topic, its sad how a lot of classic black actors/actress from back in the 80s and 90s is starting to become C list or D list actors/actress. I love Cuba and I'm glad he is still around, I'm a huge Eddie Murphy fan a lot of people think his movie isn't what they used to be so he is slowly becoming a C list actor. I heard James Earl Jones voice in this commercial I haven't seen him in any movies lately. The actress that played Eddie Murphy love interest....Shari Headley is on Tyler Perry "have and have nots".

Murphy: not doing much of anything for a couple of decades.
Jackson: does commercials.

Relevant?
