industry (1)

Fun items about them

  1. fun, about Dave Chappelle: Chappelle delivers the odd line 'she has the same coloring as' that was written for an older Eastern European actor in the original.
    “if you look up the actor who played the best friend role and shop around the corner, it's like an older Eastern European man with a mustache.”
