[On how he became an actor]
Danny Glover: I never thought about being an actor. In 1967, the students at San Francisco State invited the poet Amiri Baraka to the campus for a semester. He attracted other influential black writers such as Sonia Sanchez, Ed Bullins, Eldridge Cleaver. What emerged was something we called the community communications program. That's how I got involved; I got involved in a little play. As the BSU [Black Students Union] went through restructuring, I was named the minister of culture. At 20 or 21 years old, I wasn't even imaginative enough to know what that meant. But that's how I first got involved in acting. (edit) Danny: It would be extraordinary for [the American] film culture to unravel slavery but it doesn't. People are afraid to deal with it. There is no framework for people to unravel it. (edit) Danny: Every day of my life I walk with the idea I am black no matter how successful I am. (edit)

"Talentless"Abysmal Danny Glover is a disgrace to the United States. The movie he is having Hugo Chavez finance should be boycotted by any real American. He is virtually a traitor. He should move to Venezuela. Without Mel Gibson he would be barely known Continue » Posted May 22, 2007 9:48 pm PST |
