Forest Steven Whitaker III is an American actor, director, and producer... (wikipedia)

I'm an actor. And I guess I've done so many movies I've achieved some high visibility. But a star? I guess I still think of myself as kind of a worker ant.
Stereotypes do exist, but we have to walk through them.
When I was a kid, the only way I saw movies was from the back seat of my family's car at the drive-in.
It is possible for a kid from east Texas, raised in south central LA and Carson, who believes in his dreams, commits himself to them with his heart, to touch them and to have them happen.
I care about people. In the end, I think they feel it. It comes across, regardless of the character I'm portraying.
