Hollywood Shuffle

Robert Townsend drives right to the heart of the modern dilemma: How does one succeed as a black actor in Hollywood without playing any stereotypical, derogatory roles? Answer: work for the Post Office!

A send-up of 80s Hollywood that for obvious reasons is a bit hit-or-miss to watch now. Worth watching for the Movie Biz thread, but try to avert your eyes during the Bat Boy scenes.
