Love the Movie! Now it's Time to see some New Faces in Black Movies.

I really like this movie. I thought the first one was better, but I want to start seeing some new faces on the screen. There are only so many roles for black actresses and actors, but we keep seeing the same people working on the same movies together.
I love many of these movies but I would love to see some new stars!

Here are a few, can you think of some?

1. Gabrielle Union & Morris Chestnut (The Brothers, Perfect Holiday, 2 Can Play that Game)
2. Denzel Washington & Kimberly Elise (The Manchurian Candidate, John Q, The Great Debaters)
3. Terrence Howard & Taraji P. Henson (Hustle&Flow, Animal, Four Brothers)
4. Nia Long & Ice Cube ( Boy in the Hood, Friday, Are We there Yet, Are We Done Yet)
5. Sanaa Lathan & Alfre Woodard (Something New, Love &Basketball, The Family that Preys)
6. Regina Hall & Kevin Hart (About Last Night, Think like A Man, Think Like a Man Too, Death at a Funeral, Scary Movie 4)
7. Angela Bassett & Lawrence Fishburn (Boys in the Hood, Akeelah and the Bee, What's love got to Do with It)

I totally agree. Preferably someone younger then 30 years old. Where are all the young black actors? Most of the list are well over 30,or little kids. I think it would have been great if they added some younger cast member to their movie.

I think actress, Kyla Pratt(http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0695497/?ref_=nv_sr_1), should start starring in black family comedy movies. I mean, she already has some experience doing sitcoms, and she's a mother to two now. She may as well take her act to the big screen, because those kids movies she was doing didn't do her justice. No offense to her.

I'd also like to see Steve Harvey start appearing in these kind of movies. He's an old fashioned family man, and yet he still knows how to hang. He doesn't even have to be the lead either, he could just pop up occasionally if he wants to take it easy.
