Actor speaks out on charges of racism in Hollywood
Yaphet Kotto defends Hollywood as not race conscious but economically driven, arguing the industry is a crap shoot based on talent and drive. He cites roles in Star Chamber and Love and Honor, says protests can do more harm, and argues black actors can still pursue opportunities without racism as the sole barrier. He notes other entertainment updates including Bowie and Dart teaming on a Mary Poppins sequel and Mick Jagger and Jerri Hall considering marriage amid Karis Jagger details.
