HALF PAST DEAD: One Bad Chestnut

When you think of Morris Chestnut, there may be several words that spring to mind:

RICKY!, Sexy chocolate, Great actor.

Pretty much no one ever says “bad buy.” That is, unless they’ve seen this scene from Half Past Dead (premiering Sat. at 8pm [ET]).

We bet Ricky would never shoot a clergyman in cold blood. No, Chestnut really did some stretching from his usual romantic comedy roles to play criminal mastermind 49erOne in Dead. But he’s not the only Hollywood good-guy-gone-bad. Blair Underwood, who’s played a lot of stand-up characters in films like Something New and Set It Off, has also showed his evil side in movies like Asunder and G.

So how do you like your Black male actors — nice or a bit naughty? Take the poll below.
