I liked him in "The Crow." He was a great character who really brought heart to that movie.....I didn't like the GhostBusters movies......I know, that is sacrilegious....but he was great in "The Crow."
Now, he is showing great wisdom and intelligence........
âYou know, being a person of African descent anywhere in the world, weâre all just learning how to live together and get along together and realize that weâre all connected,â Hudson said. âAnd itâs very tempting, sometimes, to blame anything that doesnât work in your life on racism. But there are a lot of things that play into it. Itâs not quite that simple.â
The celeb pointed out that he believes a bigger-name star would have received a higher paycheck regardless of his skin color.
âWe can say itâs a racial thing, but I think if Eddie Murphy had played the role I played, he would have been paid very well,â the actor added. âI think studios are in the business of making money, and they pay what they feel they have to.â
Hudson worked on five âGhostbustersâ films, including the original with Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray, released in 1984. The actor said Murray fought for him to have a more prominent role in the 1989 sequel. â[Murray] said he wouldnât do another one unless I was involved⌠That doesnât happen very much in this industry,â he said.
