    I remember that TV Show V. It was Awesome! My favorite role he played was in the 5 Heartbeats (Eddie Kane Jr.) I actually met this brutha in 99 or 2000 at San Francisco Golden Gate Park Celebrating Bob Marley Day aka Bob Marley's Birthday. He was a very humble brutha. I saw him on another occasion at Reggae on The River where he went on stage and all of a sudden he had a Jamaican accent, but it was great to see him. Wishing Him Well.... Irie Bless....

      Of all these positive comments, I choose yours to add to. This video has inspired me to ask about others that co-starred and were simply excellent. Michael Wright was excellent, but as we have known for a long time, there is only a limited amount of Hollywood slots for Black excellence. Another star that will never be appreciated for his excellence in terms of Oscar nominations is Omar Epps, Mike Epps, Harry Lennix, and once nominated for best supporting actor, Terrence Howard. Hell, we're just happy they keep jobs. Mr. Wright was a dynamo on stage. One can't take away from Leon, or a y member of that FiveHeatbeats cast. And Townsend clearly was a great director who will never really get director credit at that highest level.

      @@darrellpeebles2300 All Facts! Thank you for sharing your views.
      The Brothers AND Sisters have been toiling and bringing their Craftsmanship to the World for some time only to be disregarded in sutle AND Blatant ways. I understand fully what motivates Mr. Tyler Perry, Mr. Spike Lee, and Posthumously Mr. John Singleton, RIP(no relation) and others like Mr. Antione Fuqua, The Hudlin Brothers, etc....For me the Five Heartbeats was indeed a Revelation. Clearly, Robert Townsend's Gift of Producing and Directing was totally underappreciated by the Academy but then remember the Egos, and Supremacist Mentality that persists in that paradigm. After living with an Actor back in 1980's New York who was trying to "Break Into" the Industry I learned all too well how one is expected to "Comport" themselves throughout Tinseltown.
      Sometimes those expectations can get beyond "blurry" and test your personal belief systems and that ofcourse is an understatement.
      Fortunately we have seen our Heros and Heroines (for the most part) hold "Themselves" in High Esteem EVEN as the Industry may have failed them and that is refreshing.

    Michael Wright is criminally underrated. He captivated the audience in every scene he has in The Wanderers one of my all-time favorite cult classic movies.
    He had such an impact in The Five Heartbeats.
    His performance MADE The Principle which would have been a forgettable movie if not for MW!
    ( two movies he helped make great and sadly both are rarely available to stream)

      I agree so much!!!! It’s just the same old thing, the same old people. And I think it’s sucking the life out of art. Whatever the industry is doing man, they’re really fucking up and they’re really just separating us all From one another and manipulating our reality. I really hope
      People do start supporting each other in this industry and just in general. Honesty it’s stuff like this video and all the fans that the power though. I loved this video so much it’s really inspiring reading the comments too and seeing everyone have his back. Good energy! Definitely praying for ya Michael!

    I met Mr. Wright in 1999 when I was a bike messenger in New York. I was delivering a script to him for an upcoming role and found him to be very friendly and approachable. it was a delight to meet him even for the few minutes we spent together as I enjoyed the many roles that he had in the past. I hope all goes well with him in the future.

    Wow...I didn't know this brother was fully loaded all like that. He could've easily been another Wesley Snipes, maybe even bigger. You Hollywood producers 'slept' on this one. This brother had the flair to be BOX OFFICE.

    This is what the industry do, use you up, spit you out and turn their backs on you.
    This man was definitely talented and you can tell he was passionate about his roles.
    I wish he gotten more recognition for his work. Besides all the memes circulating on social media.

    I just said a very strong prayer for Michael because he's such an outstanding actor that I want him to have a second chance at life and I prayed for him to regain his health and make a comeback. This man is so so brilliant as an actor, but they keep on passing him by. He deserves to be recognized by the acting community.

    I wish we we had our own awards that we could give to all the underrated actors in classic films. So, that they know their ppl loved them and their work. Bc Hollywood purposely ignores talented Black people for decades.

    Thanks for doing this. I love him in “Five Heartbeats” and “Sugarhill”. I had not watched him in any other films. Thank you so so much for highlighting his talent. He is indeed a great actor and underrepresented by the industry as many great black actors and actresses are. Praying for health and prosperity.
