I really think it’s more intentional marginalization, because they see tall, strong, intelligent brothers as threats. They did him an injustice on the Jamie Foxx Show casting him as a corny uptight nerd. I was looking forward to the TV series where he played POTUS being a long-lived series but nope…….pulled. Him, Blair Underwood, Boris Kodjoe and a host of other brothers (who should have been perennial top-leading men) have been intentionally marginalized by Hollywood; replaced by shuck-n-jive clowns or relegated to one of Tyler Perry’s ‘Chitlins, Cheetos and Kool-Aid’ shows.

Garrett did come back for an episode, when Martin and Gina opened "Rent Em Spoons" restaurant. He was wearing an african dashiki and was Tommy's African connection. They explained that he hitched a ride with "some brothas (aka OJ Simpson)" driving a white ford bronco... then realized the police were chasing them... and Stan said he just remembers waking up in a hospital... So, although it was not cool to cancel his role, he was on good enough terms to make a cameo appearance... later on

Christopher Duncan was talking about how a lot of actors(not just him) aren't taken serious for other roles, in movies/TV shows after playing a specific niche character (such as only casts in a comedic role or only the villain, or only the auntie/uncle/grandparent role. Some producers only see you in just one vein of acting, which we all know isn't right nor fair to these actors. I'm glad he is working, and we want to see him and other actors(that have been typecasted in the past) in a lot more roles and even bigger budget productions. These actors deserve a lot more recognition 💯
