Why does it seem like after ''The Klumps'' Eddie's ability act just seemed to disappear?


It's very peculiar. Though the sequel was crude Eddie acting and characters were absolutely on point just as the first. But this seems to be the last film you see his talent. After this film Eddie's acting and his career (he was A-list at this times) just seemed to drop off. By the late 2000's he was practically forgotten and his movies all flops. What happened?

Eddie's acting and career dropped off after 2000's 'The Klumps?' Eddie received an Oscar nomination from 2006's 'Dreamgirls.'Dolemite Is My Name' is Eddie's most critical successful film in years. And the 'Coming to America' sequel is gonna be released on Amazon Prime this Christmas. I don't think Eddie's career got forgotten about. Yes Eddie has had many flops in his career but what actor hasn't? Lol. Eddie is at a point in his career where he's got nothing to prove. You think his career got forgotten about? You wait and see when the 'Coming to America' sequel comes out this Christmas

HIS ROLE IN DREAMGIRLS WAS MORE THAN ENOUGH TO KEEP HIM RELEVANT FOR THE DECADE + IT TOOK FOR DOLEMITE IS MY NAME TO DROP.
