 pootytang was an impeccable example of Rocks cold hard acting chops. Curse the academy for snubbing his performance.

 @realcaseyrollins ✝️ @41995660  Chris Rock was great in Fargo series. He played a boss of the black crime family fighting for territory against the Italian mob.

 I heard about that role but didn’t know if he was good in it

I think that comedians who can play the straight man are criminally underrated as dramatic actors
