Djimon Hounsou is “struggling to make a dollar” in Hollywood
“I’ve gone to studios for meetings and they’re like: ‘Wow, we felt like you just got off the boat and then went back [after ‘Amistad’]. We didn’t know you were here as a true actor,’” Hounsou continued. “When you hear things like that, you can see that some people’s vision of you, or what you represent, is very limiting….

He's a millionare, crying with a loaf of bread under his arm.
Man we are all in the grind ….
Absolutely I was told that.
Amostad was his first movie
As you have some answers would be great if you could reach out to Djimon
Great video…
Is he on drugs?
Could it be because he is black ball!! Kimore lee is his baby mother and he doesn't provide any support even when he working!!
He is melinated. The playing field is not level, and will never be for us. You always have to try harder, and be better, occasionally you may break even.
I've heard a different story as a former member of IAAPA.
Realistically what they should do is focus on his character in the Gladiator 2
I worked with this brother on Wayward Pines. It was incredible to see how the production disrespected him. He is one of the most talented people iv ever been around.
I first saw him in Love will never do….. Janet Jackson
Maybe he needs to get in Nollywood business
Yet he spent 2 mil a few yrs ago on a house.. I don''t feel bad for him and I'm certainly not going to lose sleep over it.
Here's the problem with Hounsou – he can't act.
He can only play in largely non-speaking roles.
We need to know why he's broke. Baby mamas and cocaine parties ?
As bad as it is for black men in Hollywood, it is even worse for black women. How much work has Angela Bassett, Viola Davis and Alfre Woodward gotten in the last ten years. Dark skinned blacks have it harder to lighter complexions. Will Smith and Halle Berry have made way more money than anyone else that was mentioned in this comment.
He is a great actor and is always given minor bit roles. This guy has been around a long time. But black male lead rolls now go to comediennes, it has been years since Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman and Laurence Fishburne were getting offered multiple leading man roles. If it isn't will Smith, it is a comic
This man should have won an Oscar for Amistad. He was the movie.
Djimon Hounsouuu is a actor and model who has a net worth of $4 million.
I'm trying to make a dollar out of fifteen cents and he's trying to make 1 million out of 900,000 and sad about it
He should fire his agent and not agree to contracts he doesn't like.
Nollywood is the third largest movie producing industry in the world. It’s in Nigeria

Amistad was
Blood Diamond was a great movie
Stop waiting for Hollywood to give you roles, start making independent films. Sometimes they have funds set aside for independent films.
There is no such thing as people of color!
Doc is saying BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND YOUR SKILLS.
Djimon Hounsou isn't being a "good and humble boy" team player in Hollywood that's expected of the masculine, testerone filled black male actors by the Hollywood powers to be in order to better humble and control him.
Despite the amount of movies he's been in for at least two decades, he's still a leading co-star/character actor and not a A-list leading, black male Hollywood actor that's going to pay him the really big bucks $15-$20 million dollars per movie along with all the additional benefits that comes along with it.
He's probably over the years gotten plenty of movie roles that would have gotten him big pay days per movie that wanted/required him to put on a dress/women's clothing in movies/television that would indicate to the Hollywood powers to be that he's now "buck broken" and hammer malleable to what we want him to be and do from that point going forward.
His A-list status explodes and the mult-millions of dollars that he always seeking starts rolling in like a huge boulder going downhill.
Lower his core values system, abandon his morals, throw away his integrity, play the "Casting Couch" game and he's all set.
He knows exactly how the big bucks system to paramount suscess works in Hollywood but he will never verbally complain saying it out loud.
Djimon Hounsou?
Not going to happen because after all his years of success in Hollywood, its way to late, he's too likeable, too credible, too well known established to his fan base, black americans love his work and throughout Hollywood to suddenly, switch up in the game.
He must have refused to wear a dress .
Gladiator is one of my favorite movies, and I loved his role in this move.
Many actors "blow up " AFTER they leave Hollywood.
