White Actors Who Credit Black Co-Stars for Teaching Them Real Slang

This actor and Anthony Mackie have become well-known friends after working together for years in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Fans love their playful dynamic, especially when Mackie good-naturedly pokes fun at his co-star for not always knowing the latest slang. A running joke between them centers around Mackie’s habit of saying “cut the check” on set to praise a great performance. The actor has shared that Mackie often helps him stay up-to-date on American slang. Their comedic timing works so well because Mackie often playfully acts as the teacher, while his co-star plays the slightly confused student.
