In their Actors on Actors series, Variety brings together two of our favorite performers, Courtney B. Vance and Tracee Ellis Ross, to interview each other about their work.
Vance is a shoe-in for every award imaginable for his portrayal of Johnnie Cochran in American Crime Story: The People vs. OJ Simpson and Ross stars as Rainbow Johnson on the critically ac aclaimed ABC comedy Black-ish. Both series navigate the role race plays in shaping our thoughts on important issues.
The two have a wide-ranging dialogue that begins with their introduction to acting.
Tracee Ellis Ross aka T-Murda is back. This time she's rocking cornrows and a grill and brings along one of our favorite actresses, Regina Hall.
The two team up to rap Future and Drake's Jordan-inspired hit "Jumpman."
Yes, rap lyrics are absurd, and the best part of the video are the looks of confusion and dismay (check 2:30) on their faces when they come across nonsensical/offensive lyrics.
Tracee Ellis Ross sat down for a revealing interview with Larry King about her current rose on "Blackish" and her evolution in the entertainment industry.
By now, we've all fallen in love with Tracee Ellis Ross's alter ego T-Murda as she covers and tries to make sense of some of rap's hit songs. Our favorite pseudo rapper is back and this time she takes on Fetty Wap's hit song "Trap Queen."
Tracee Ellis Ross loves rap just as much as the rest of us. Her alter ego T-Murda has rapped for the public before, and now she's back rapping Wale's "The Body."
It's clear Tracee Ellis Ross has an affinity for rap music, and that love prompts her to venture to figure out what in the world they're saying. It's certainly a daunting task, but Tracee shared her attempt to rap along to "Lifestyle" by Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug.
We've all been there. You're enjoying a song and then you realize you have no idea what artist is talking about. And once you look up the lyrics, you're kind of horrified by what you find.
The jig is up. Ever wondered why Black women are so often missing form the big screen? Funny or Die brought together some of Hollywood's most celebrated actresses to explain the reason.
Tracee Ellis Ross returned to Brown University for her 20 year reunion, and while there she sat down with scholar Tricia Rose to discuss her career and upcoming show "Black-ish."
A new family comedy, "Black-ish" is coming to ABC this Fall. Anthony Anderson will star along with Tracee Ellis Ross and Laurence Fishburne.
Here's the description:
Andre Johnson has a great job, a beautiful wife, Rainbow, four kids, and a colonial home in the 'burbs. But has success brought too much assimilation for this black family? With a little help from his dad, Dre sets out to establish a sense of cultural identity for his family that honors their past while embracing the future.
I can say that this will be the first network comedy I'll be tuning into in years. The previews look hilarious. Take a look.
