Black Actors Who Hollywood Treats As Supporting No Matter What

Djimon Hounsou is a remarkably captivating actor who often steals scenes, even when he’s not the main character. Despite giving strong performances in films like ‘Gladiator’ and ‘Blood Diamond,’ he hasn’t often been cast as the lead in big-budget movies. Hollywood tends to give him supporting roles – the dependable friend or the wise, powerful figure – instead of letting him be the hero. This is a missed opportunity, as he consistently makes every film he’s in better, and audiences are eager to see a movie where he truly takes center stage.
