Born in Britain Made in America

He’s been described as having a sultry smooth voice that is pure as butter. He’s delivered knock out performances one after the other. In the cinema world he’s described as ‘Liquid Gold.’ Were talking about a man who’s consistently robbed the careers of Chi McBride and Faizon Love. Here at Cinema Bros. we want to devote our attention to those under the radar stars and today it happens to be the exceptional Delroy Lindo. Born to Jamaican parents Delroy honed his skills in theater before getting his breakthrough role in Malcolm X. In Hollywood Dennis Farina has been described as the white Delroy Lindo. As a result Farina has demanded that Lindo (Romeo) must die. After being one of Crooklyn’s finest and delivering the goods in Get Shorty, Lindo truly broke through with his performance of Captain Wanta in 1995s Congo. It can be confirmed that Lindo is only the second person ever to put Tim Curry in a corner, and as we know not just anybody can put the Curry in a corner.

Lindo has given the audience a sense of protection as he is constantly cast as member of law enforcement. Soon after the dominos began to fall and Lindo landed the role of a lifetime facing off with Nicolas Cage in Gone in Sixty Seconds. Two Hollywood Heavyweights jousting each other for ultimate glory. The only film comparison that can be made to this is when Dennis Hopper had the audacity to go toe-too-toe with the Deedles. On the Paul Walker front has there ever been a better actor out there that we literally know absolutely nothing about.

Back to Lindo following his ‘Cage-Off’ his career did not take off as we expected and was nearly blackballed out of the profession by some (Charles) minor amateur. Through his code of conduct and constant professionalism Delroy returned and joined us This Christmas where he showed his fathering skills to a young Sisqo. We’ve hung by Lindo and in return he has brought us a wealth of enjoyment. To conclude I wanted to inform Celery Trick that in 1994 Lindo traveled to Africa with both Angela Basset and Alfre Woodard proving that they are two separate people, and once again Delroy Lindo showed the world that he is the (Minnesota) miracle man. Delroy Lindo part man, part machine, TOTAL WEAPON.
