"Laurence" Fishburne-Dud or Dude?

He was only 14 years old when they started filming Apocalypse Now!

Here's a photo of Sean Connery, right after seeing him play Jimmy Jump in King Of New York, calling Fishburne to announce that he's the man now, dawg.

I could never diss Cowboy Curtis.

That was him? Wow, respect.

he is great, I think, though not so much in that last matrix movie, but really, who coulda survived that

it could be called 'the matrix of the heart, actually'

I would love for someone to explain to me what is wrong with being a porn actress?

I've always looked for a job where I could do something I love, get paid a living wage at it, and not grow to hate the job eventually.

If any woman believes she has found that kind of job working in the porn industry, more power to her.

"Chippy D"

Why bother now. Everyone in the world knows now, including daddy.

How sad. How sad that there are young women growing up who will emultae her for having emulated the no-talent bi-mbo Kim Kardashian.

Feminism, despite it's contemporary state, has been set back decades because of this stuff. The Snookis. The Octomoms. The Parises. The Britneys and Lindsays. The Kardashians. And now this. Just for notariety, infamy, attention, and most of all money.

Guess there really is a price for everyone to compromise themselves for.

How sad for us all.

Wow, what exactly did Larry do to get lumped in with that group?

Montana Fishburne, daughter of Laurence Fishburne, is glad her father's cronies weren't able to stop the release of her porno tape -- telling TMZ, "I want people to see my movie."

TMZ bumped into Montana yesterday in L.A., where she said she was "surprised" that her dad's pals tried to buy up all her XXX DVDs from Vivid Entertainment for a million bucks -- but was "happy" they failed because she says, "I want people to see it. I want people to buy my movie."

On a different note, Montana also said, "I want my whole family to be proud of me in anything I do" ... whether she was "a doctor" or a porn star.

there's only one snooki

I just saw LF in the one-man play Thurgood (Marshall) - really fine performance, both entertaining and educational

Here's hoping he'll be good on CSI.

i've been watching csi all the way through, mostly just for research and to have something to watch, it's kind of not that good, but it has some small tv craft to it and it gradually gets more watchable several seasons in - and once william petersen (who was doing quite well with pretty mediocre writing) leaves and they slot fishburne in, there's like this real step up in quality! which is weird for a tv show. his presence is just different, he has more of a touch. and after his 'hannibal' role it's noticeable that he's actually in character as the doctor-professor-newbie csi, kind of reserved, modest, waiting for other people to take the lead so he can learn from them. even in the way he listens to witnesses, his reaction shots etc.

i don't know if they changed staff or made some different production decisions - seems like there's a lot less of the blatant soundtracked-lab-montage filler than there had been - but there's definitely a shift in the tone/perspective because fishburne's character replaces petersen's, but not as the new head of the lab, so suddenly the focal character's status as focal is more tangible since most of the other stuff is only adjusted slightly to make up for grissom's departure. i wonder how often that happens in long-running tv production.

he's been great on hannibal!
