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....
Sugar Hill scene at the park singing thinking about all of the years I think I have shared some tears I told myself in time and time again I'm going to win another fight in things wasn't right I think I'm losing again it takes a fool to lose twice then start over again I think I better let it go gunshot p o w looks like another love TKO another gunshot p o w oh oh oh oh another gun p o w
Wow. Loved him too in 5 Heartbeats. Lucky U to have met him. I wish him well in whatever he is doing. Nites like this🎵🎶. Michael u r an Oscar Winner in My Heart. Be Well Eddie Kane.🙏👑❤️❤️🏆💜
I love him he is a great actor an he is in my prayers and whatever it is that he is going through God got him God is in control and God didn't bring him this far to leave him now
That is so true I agree with you Shawn Phillips, because there's one thing that I don't approve of is yellow journalism. He was very selective in his choice of words and for that I say kudos to him.
I don’t care if he hasn’t been nominated for any award. He gets a award from me for perfecting his gift. He has always done a great Job at EVERY role he’s played. Love him. Praying for his health.
I know him personally...He's an awesome person...He's trying to get fully back on his acting...He's getting healthier, looking better and keeping himself busy writing...
@@todosmiros8119 Exactly. Who is he fooling. Please look up Sissy on youtube and recent videos of this guy. He is not doing better. she exploited him and removed comment capability. Everyone look up this man and her exploiting him at his worst.
No matter what we think....remember you don't know a man's journey because you didn't experience it. But what we do know is that this captivating actor enriched our lives with every performance. I pray the best life is still ahead Michael!
Brother Michael has always given us the Absolute Best of Himself in his Film Characters. That much is Obvious. A Complete Professional. Hopefully his Health improves and we can see him at his Best again. ShalomPeaceSalaam
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. ShalomPeaceSalaam
Michael Wright has a hell of an acting range! He makes you believe in his character. It is a shame he hasn't won an Oscar, Emmy, or something. So sorry to hear about his health issues. I'll be praying for the brother! Appreciate your video classrooms. That's what they are. I make sure I send them all to my grown children. I've made sure they had a versatile education, but you are filling in the gaps. Thanks Terry!
You right oh he play ever role he played to the tee You see leon they like him I didnt I feel straight in love with Eddie and even went to library to find more movies with him in it Oscar from me!!!!@
Lmfao. Might as well pray to Oden and Thor too while you're at it! Lmaooo can't believe adults still believe in shit that only exist in the imagination.
I love how everyone seems to be supporting this man with good wishes and love in the comments. Someone tell him that we love him, miss him and will always support him. ❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
I met Mr. Wright in midtown Manhattan, New York City.. A very Underrated Black Actor. Let's show him the Love and RESPECT HE RIGHTFULLY DESERVED..By the way, He had on a deep Purple silk suit. 👍 Keep your HEAD UP MR. WRIGHT..God Bless.🙏🌟🌟👍😊
He definitely deserve much love and respect I also will be praying for a healthy recovery...And yes let's not speculate like people did with Chadwick Bozeman.God rest his soul
He lives in Midtown, Manhattan. His mom also had a Restaraunt in Midtown years ago, called Wings and Things. I would always run into him. He is extremely down to Earth and indeed underrated as an Actor.
I remember seeing him around 2011in Michigan at CVS. I was the manager and we talked for a minute. He was real cool, but I couldn't help but notice his appearance wasn't the best. Praying for him. He's my favorite on Five Heartbeats 💓
@@antoineemory6772 I hope not. BET needs to recognize that people are still interested in actors and actresses from back in the day and would like to see them more on awards shows getting their accolades as well as more documentaries on famous actors and actresses before the '90's.
HEAVENLY FATHER, I pray that you touch and heal Michael's life and body...LORD whatever the problem is I know that you are able to fix it..In the Mighty Name of JESUS I Faithfully Pray,Amen.
It’s called life just simple LIFE Everything else is irrelevant life happens that’s what life is up‘s and downs without no ups and downs there would be no life God bless him🙏🏽🙌🏾
I just watched the 5 heartbeats again last night. He is such an amazing actor. I love his rough voice. I could swear it was him singing. The scene where he says he's still got it and sings for the group gets me every time. It breaks my heart as someone who has loved someone with an addiction problem. Whatever he is currently going through I pray he has the strength to overcome it.
just so yall know this brutha got not 1 but 2 movies comin out late next year. tha 1st is called STREET JUSTICE AN THA 2ND IS CALLED BRASS KNUCKLES. so this bruh aint done yet. not by a long shot.
Great to hear he is still acting. May we not jump to conclusions about people based upon their appearance. The Black Panther Star looked sick, then we learned he had cancer. Some people don't look sick and yet they die of cancer. We are thankful that prayers and well wishes can give hope, love and support... At really no cost, except time and compassion 😘
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) When this video first started out talking about him in the past tense I thought we had lost him. I am so thankful for Michael Wright and his work . God bless him
Good God let's send him our love and support. It's hard out here, we need to come together as a people and stand with each other. Michael Wright may God bless you and keep you and thanks for all the joy your films have bought us. Keep your head up Brother.
@@royjackson8523 Indeed! I've learned a lot about life in 2020 , if we don't get the message, shame on us. I judge no one. I'll leave that up to the Man who sits high and looks low.
Nah, actually Matée Brisbane is right... It is "KING", but it was pronounced as "KANG".. It's even listed in the credits at the end of the movie... I didn't notice til years later myself... Peace!
@@subliminalcriminal2782 Many years passed before I realized that, and that Harry Lennix character’s nickname was “Dresser” and not “Drexler” Still one of my all time favorite movies.
Never gave him his rewards so underrated. Really sad. He never got anything he deserves. I don’t understand why other actors and actresses do not call out and stand up for guys like this. Yet the same old tired people keep getting recognized.
Always remember those who make their heaven on this earth are going to be recognized by their own BUT...THOSE OF WHO CHOOSE TO LIVE AND DIE SUFFER FOR THE GREAT AND GOOD CAUSE ARE WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE THIS IS NOT OUR HOME WE WILL NEVER BE KNOWN BY THEM THAT'S OF THE WORLD THEY DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND ONE WORD YOU SAYING BUT GOD WILL PLACE YOU WHERE YOU ARE TO BE TO BRING HIS PEOPLE OUT OF BONDAGE KNOW THIS THE WORLD DID KNOW OR UNDERSTAND THE GOOD LORD GOD SO HOW DO YOU EXPECT PEOPLE OF WORLD TO RECOGNIZE YOU
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.
WE are always jumping straight to drug usage, made that mistake with Charlie Murphy, PRAY for the man, FIRST, drugs or not. That's Eddie Kane, y'all!!!!!
This is just horrible how he's ended up. This young life was so Talented.Hollyweird Never gives. Credit when Credit is due to Great People.. ❤ Wishing him the best!!
I don't know if its been said in the comments but he also appeared in the television movie called " We're Fighting back" this movie was about the Guardian Angels and how they came to be. Michael and another brother introduced the magnificent 13 (aka the Guardian Angels) to martial arts training. One movie i real enjoyed. You can find it on TH-cam. But keep in mind it was filmed in the 80's
I remember him for Oz mainly. He is such a underrated actor. His voice is so distinctive. He has a voice that was perfect for some films I can think of now.
He's truly one of the G.O.A.T actors who Never got his just dues so sad I pray that God, heals him from the top of his head to the sole of his feet in jesus name Amen ✌💯
Yes he and besides other actors never got recognized for their great talent. It's sad how life is still so prejudices. He should of been awarded even thru the BET awards!!!
He made the five heartbeats that's for sure he was my favorite singer in the group ..and sugar hill was another of my favorite movies from him and wesley snipes that movie was Soo underated it wasn't even funny I loved that movie ....I hope he does get better ..whatever his situation is God bless him pray for God to heal and restore him
I'm so glad you did a take on Michael Wright. Dude was so talented in his acting abilities and role portrayals that I myself felt he should have won some type of awards. To be honest, Mike was the main reason I watched the shows and movies he played in, this brother knew how to bring life to any character he played. I wish him well and good health 🙏 ❤
He's one of those realistic character actors. I hope that he gets well because he is quite young to be in that condition, and I pray for his well being.
Totally AGREE MICHAEL WRIGHT IS AMAZING ACTOR'..PRAY FOR A MIRACLE , HEALING & RESTORATION IN HIS LIFE. AN ABUNDANCE OF GOD'S GRACE BE WITH HIM. I WILL CONTINUE TO INTERCEED IN PRAYER FOR HIM.
First let me say thanks to you for providing this content, it really took me back to my younger years. Yes I remember him , and I do agree he was an outstanding actor, he really brought live to his character in the five heartbeats, and it's sad to know that he didn't really got the recognition he deserved. My prayers go out to him, and i hope he recover from what ever illness he has🙏
Oh yeah, Money Talks! My boy had a Blow Pop sucker in one hand, put it in his mouth and had a fuckin bazooka slung over his other shoulder gettin' busy on em! Get well soon Michael Wright...much love black man!!!
Michael Wright is in my prayers. 🙏🏽🙏🏽 I Googled him because he just came to mind. I hadn't seen him in a while. I appreciate you keeping us in the know about Mr Wright. I've never seen anything with him that I didn't just love. He put his ALL in his roles. It's unfortunate that he's never been nominated for an award. This guys is and has always been amazing.♥️ May God bless you Michael Wright with great health and a very happy and prosperous life.
He played those roles so real. I saw the Five Heartsbeats & Sugar Hill, great movies. I remember the accolades surrounding his talents from them; people still talks about them. I never saw the tv shows but hopefully I can catch the one day. I hope if he is still around, hope he get well soon!!!
I think he maybe going through #grief, cause his Mom passed, a short time ago, #RIP to his Mom, and, #LoveYouAnWishYouWellMichealWright...PeaceAnLoveYall.
I knew both Michael and his mom. They were very close and her death might have depressed him. May God supernatural help restore his body ,mind and soul in Jesus mighty name.
Maaaan V was everything! It was futuristic for the time lol. The special effects are hilarious now. Thanks for the update on an amazing & underrated actor!
As a kid, V had me scared. I thought it was something that could really happen. My mom watched it every week, back before you could record and watch stuff later.
I love him! I pray he gets better! His role in Sugar Hill always touched my heart. Him and his brother were so tormented as children and adults. He makes the character come at the way to life and he had a A list co-star, Wesley Snipes❤️
We’ve got to stop waiting to receive recognition from people who don’t understand our work, message or talent coz they’ve never walked a mile in our shoes. Thank you for paying homage to this man’s wonderful talent
This is nuts, I was just thinking about him 2 days ago wondering what happened to him. It’s good to see he’s still alive. Give this man respect people, he deserves it!
Yep in 2019 he was in two episodes. Just Google did he play in Black Lightening and go to the cast and you'll see his pic and name further down the listed.
Also, maybe you play a part so LONG, you begin to act the part out!!! Actors and Actresses may need some kind of counseling when they play these roles.. every role he played was a drug addict/dealer/gangstar
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.
He laced an episode of Miami Vice in the 80's. I met him in Manhattan in 2008 at a food spot. Truly a humble person. Very talented at his craft. §alute and thank you for all of those iconic roles.
I remember V and the others . he was a good actress I think he should have been selected on a Grammy . praying that he received a healing in his body oh Lord and strengthen him as well. I love this Guy hard work he put out.
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH U 100%. MIKE U WERE OUTSTANDING AND U CAN BLOW ON SINGING. GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU. RESTORATION, LORD JESUS. TOUCH HIM RIGHT NOW IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS. I SPEAK IT IN THE MIGHTY POWERFUL NAME OF JESUS, THAT U R HEALED BY HIS STRIPES. AMEN AND AMEN!!! JESUS IS ON THE MAINLINE, RIGHT NOW.♥️
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.
I enjoyed watching him as well. Such a talented man. As we live "Life" happens to us, rather self inflicted or accidental we are all eligible for the ups and downs at some point. Whatever the case may be I wish him well. Thank you for sharing and much love to all.
He is my favorite actor in The Five Heartbeats actually I like him in all his movies. Definitely keeping him in prayer. Whatever he is going through 🙏God has him. Much 💘 love and well wishes.
I truly feel he's much better some actors working today. My Prayers are with him . I have been wondering about this great actor. Thanks for filling my ponderings

I'll always love him for his performances in "The Five Heartbeats" and "Sugar Hill."
Yeah he wazz a Real G in Sugar Hill 4 Real
Yes indeed. Should have gotten a oscar
This is the flavor that they savor up here neighbor‼️ Raynham Skuggs - Sugar Hill
And I have both.
He was in the movie called The Principle with Louis Gossett Jr. Rae Dawn Chung i highly recommend that movie.

I Agree .pray. He's well come. Back. Gangsta Actor
@@subliminalcriminal2782 thanks I didn't know
He is definitely underrated as an actor, praying for his health and recovery
Never gave him his rewards so underrated. Really sad. He never got anything he deserves. I don’t understand why other actors and actresses do not call out and stand up for guys like this. Yet the same old tired people keep getting recognized.
aramelia u betta preach sweetheart.
Always remember those who make their heaven on this earth are going to be recognized by their own BUT...THOSE OF WHO CHOOSE TO LIVE AND DIE SUFFER FOR THE GREAT AND GOOD CAUSE ARE WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE THIS IS NOT OUR HOME WE WILL NEVER BE KNOWN BY THEM THAT'S OF THE WORLD THEY DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND ONE WORD YOU SAYING BUT GOD WILL PLACE YOU WHERE YOU ARE TO BE TO BRING HIS PEOPLE OUT OF BONDAGE KNOW THIS THE WORLD DID KNOW OR UNDERSTAND THE GOOD LORD GOD SO HOW DO YOU EXPECT PEOPLE OF WORLD TO RECOGNIZE YOU
You obviously missed what happened to the Oscars about two years back.
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!
What I notice is that great actors and actresses that DON'T follow along with the Hollywood B--- S--t ! They NEVER give them their props. 💝🙏🇯🇲
*DAAAANG!!! Nights like this I wish raindrops would fall!!!!*

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.
He should have been NOMINATED FOR OSCAR FOR HIS MOVIES.
Correct...& Life isn't fair, but GOD IS! Michael Wright hang in there..GID IS STILL ON THE THORN.🙏
I was a extra in 4 of the movies he was in thanks to him. He is a great guy and a even better friend.
He was a fabulous actor ... and I agree with you that he should have received the
recognition that he sadly never got.
I pray that he does well.
I always thought that Micheal Wright and Leon Robinson looked like brothers. Wishing him all the best.
Shit you a Damn lie,I wouldnt think they look alike if I saw them both come out the same pussy,
@@yvetteotero3421 lmao🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@yvetteotero3421 Why so dramatic?
Yes they do lookalike!
@@TheVisionee Look! You better find another drug to get high on,cause you is fuck up.They do not look alike besides being two black men
WE are always jumping straight to drug usage, made that mistake with Charlie Murphy, PRAY for the man, FIRST, drugs or not. That's Eddie Kane, y'all!!!!!
*Eddie King Jr.
Amen
🎶 I feel like goin on 🎶
Don't forget CHADWICK BOZEMAN.!!!! People need to shut the hell up.
@@sadiegrill2846 STILL hurt, about that one!! DAMN! That young man, was AWESOME!!!!
I'm a fan of alot his work. Blessings to him for whatever he's going through.
This is just horrible how he's ended up. This young life was so Talented.Hollyweird Never gives. Credit when Credit is due to Great People.. ❤ Wishing him the best!!
I don't know if its been said in the comments but he also appeared in the television movie called " We're Fighting back" this movie was about the Guardian Angels and how they came to be. Michael and another brother introduced the magnificent 13 (aka the Guardian Angels) to martial arts training. One movie i real enjoyed. You can find it on TH-cam. But keep in mind it was filmed in the 80's
I remember him for Oz mainly. He is such a underrated actor. His voice is so distinctive. He has a voice that was perfect for some films I can think of now.
He is a wonderful actor and what a beautiful voice
What a handsome and talented actor and a beautiful strong voice I just love him in what ever he acts in God bless
I was thinking Candyman if Todd wasn't available.
Much respect to EVERYONE who’s lifting this man up! Please continue on this way w/ all who need it regardless of anything else! ☮️ & ❤️!
He's truly one of the G.O.A.T actors who Never got his just dues so sad I pray that God, heals him from the top of his head to the sole of his feet in jesus name Amen ✌💯
Amen
Yes he and besides other actors never got recognized for their great talent. It's sad how life is still so prejudices. He should of been awarded even thru the BET awards!!!
@@alisasmith3585 ⁰
I touch and agree
Amen
The scene when he poisoned his father in SugarHill ,alone is Oscar worthy.
Yes
He gave him that uncut dope and put him outta his misery, Ray Nathan was the coldest character he’s played! One of my favorite movies.
@@krazedwon Rome ..I sent him home ..I sent him home Rome..
Oscar indeed

^^^That was MY FAVORITE PART🤣!
Another great actor gone unnoticed. But I will pray for him 🙏 thanks for sharing 👍
He made the five heartbeats that's for sure he was my favorite singer in the group ..and sugar hill was another of my favorite movies from him and wesley snipes that movie was Soo underated it wasn't even funny I loved that movie ....I hope he does get better ..whatever his situation is God bless him pray for God to heal and restore him
Haven't we yet learned a lesson about judging? Please don't *Chadwick Bozeman* him..
I loved him ❣️ he was an excellent actor and l miss seeing him , you are in my prayers , God bless ❤️
Yeah. Definitely two different actors and artists.
@@laverneingram8194 I'm ex fc to
Yeah but his situation looks more self inflicted. Where as for Chadwick it was out of control
"I ain't scared of you Gus" Yes Michael Wright was a force to be reckoned with.He was truly underrated .God watch over Mr.Wright we all wish him well.
I'm so glad you did a take on Michael Wright. Dude was so talented in his acting abilities and role portrayals that I myself felt he should have won some type of awards. To be honest, Mike was the main reason I watched the shows and movies he played in, this brother knew how to bring life to any character he played. I wish him well and good health 🙏 ❤
He's one of those realistic character actors. I hope that he gets well because he is quite young to be in that condition, and I pray for his well being.
Michael Wright is an awesome overlooked talent that Hollywood has overlooked. His performances are Oscar worthy.
He deserves this recognition. Anything he's acted in he did it well. He made the characters believable. I pray all is well with him.
Agreed he should have gotten more roles some people are not appreciated like others
Totally AGREE MICHAEL WRIGHT IS AMAZING ACTOR'..PRAY FOR A MIRACLE , HEALING & RESTORATION IN HIS LIFE. AN ABUNDANCE OF GOD'S GRACE BE WITH HIM. I WILL CONTINUE TO INTERCEED IN PRAYER FOR HIM.
First let me say thanks to you for providing this content, it really took me back to my younger years. Yes I remember him , and I do agree he was an outstanding actor, he really brought live to his character in the five heartbeats, and it's sad to know that he didn't really got the recognition he deserved. My prayers go out to him, and i hope he recover from what ever illness he has🙏
I seen all Michael Wright movies and is an excellent actor "excellent." The Principal with James Belushi was Fantastic, I hope he gets well...
He was also in Money Talks as Chris Tucker's friend that shot up the coliseum with a bazooka.. [arms dealer]
Red Light , Green Light
Forgot about that role
Franklin was the character's name
Oh yeah, Money Talks! My boy had a Blow Pop sucker in one hand, put it in his mouth and had a fuckin bazooka slung over his other shoulder gettin' busy on em! Get well soon Michael Wright...much love black man!!!
MC Ehit said he was offered that role based off what he done on menace to society. Ehit said they wanted him to be funny. He said he wasn't having it.
Michael Wright is in my prayers. 🙏🏽🙏🏽 I Googled him because he just came to mind. I hadn't seen him in a while. I appreciate you keeping us in the know about Mr Wright. I've never seen anything with him that I didn't just love. He put his ALL in his roles. It's unfortunate that he's never been nominated for an award. This guys is and has always been amazing.♥️ May God bless you Michael Wright with great health and a very happy and prosperous life.
Sugar Hill is absolutely one of the most underrated movies and so is Wright. I think that's dope he has a toy though. Ima try to find that V toy.
If you find it please let us know!
@@VontiNYC will do.
Good morning, he's a very beautiful, positive actor. I'm praying he gets better. Love you black man
He played those roles so real. I saw the Five Heartsbeats & Sugar Hill, great movies. I remember the accolades surrounding his talents from them; people still talks about them. I never saw the tv shows but hopefully I can catch the one day. I hope if he is still around, hope he get well soon!!!
GOD HEAL HIM & bless and protect everybody reading this message😇
Thank you. you as well
“Everyday I wish rain drops would fallllll” five heart beats

I knew both Michael and his mom. They were very close and her death might have depressed him. May God supernatural help restore his body ,mind and soul in Jesus mighty name.
Drugs
AWWW WOWWW...How sad &Sorry I am to hear This🙏🕆⚘🕊⚘🕊⚘🕊⚘
Very good actor met him in the 90s at his mom restaurant jazz a belles
He is definitely underrated in his body of work. Everything that he's appeared in was exceptional in my opinion.
I plead the blood of JESUS over his life. He that is without sin, let him be the ONE to cast the first stone
Maaaan V was everything! It was futuristic for the time lol. The special effects are hilarious now. Thanks for the update on an amazing & underrated actor!
As a kid, V had me scared. I thought it was something that could really happen. My mom watched it every week, back before you could record and watch stuff later.
Me too! I hope they do a remake. Also prayers up for this man. I hope he gets the honors he deserves.
I love him! I pray he gets better! His role in Sugar Hill always touched my heart. Him and his brother were so tormented as children and adults. He makes the character come at the way to life and he had a A list co-star, Wesley Snipes❤️
SUGAR HILL IS MY FAVORITE MOVIE.BRILLIANT ACTOR.
One of my favorite actor... and thank you for recognizing him
Wasn't he in Chris Tucker's movie "Money Talks", as Aaron, (the weapons running crime boss)? He didn't mention him in that.
Yes. I still watch that to make me laugh.
Ikr! That was hilarious! " YO AARAAAN"!!! 😆😂
Yes He Was In "Money Talks", I Was Waiting For Him To Mention That But Nope!
Yes he was and he was awesome
@Chosen one that was st. Louis in players club😹😹😹
Got Nothing but Love for My Brother, keeping Him Prayed up!🌹
Folks if you haven't seen the 1980's series "V", you might want to look it up.. Great stuff.
First tv series for "Freddy Krueger" 😉
It’s a shame ABC messed up the show with their new aged version
This is my man! I love him, he is an awesome actor! Loved him in the Five Heartbeats. Please Michael get better and be healed.
I, too loved him in the Five Heartbeats. Praying for whatever is ailing him, he gets better soon. 🙏🙏🙏
We’ve got to stop waiting to receive recognition from people who don’t understand our work, message or talent coz they’ve never walked a mile in our shoes.
Thank you for paying homage to this man’s wonderful talent
This is nuts, I was just thinking about him 2 days ago wondering what happened to him. It’s good to see he’s still alive. Give this man respect people, he deserves it!
I prayer GOD restore he’s health and all that’s needed for him I pray this in Jesus Christ name amen God Bless him
While you're at it could you put in a prayer for lower gas prices in California?
He's still acting. He was on Black Lightning just last year.
DAMN I MISSED THAT.
I'm going straight to Netflix and try and find that episode 😁!
I gotta feed this
Yep in 2019 he was in two episodes. Just Google did he play in Black Lightening and go to the cast and you'll see his pic and name further down the listed.
Really ?! I must have missed that Episode!!
Money Talks with Chris Tucker! He really is one of the Most Unsung actors in modern film history. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Yes! Money talks!
Red light Green light
Yes, he was really cool, playing that role.
@@SavageEd1 😁
Yes, he played Aaron in Money talks . 😍😍😍😍
Father God please bless his health in Jesus name I pray, amen.
Very underrated actor like Clifton Powell and Clarence William II but really on top of their game vs the leads.
"HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE ME?"HIS WORDS TO FLASH IN,,,THE FIVE HEARTBEATS,,,MOST MEMORABLE!HOPE AND PRAYERS GOES OUT TO HIM,,,THANKS MR SWOOPE!😁
Can’t no body sang like Eddie king jr.
Nights like this , I wish raindrops would fa a a a all.
EDDIE CAIN JR.
@@billyhollister8768 it’s king
Also, maybe you play a part so LONG, you begin to act the part out!!! Actors and Actresses may need some kind of counseling when they play these roles.. every role he played was a drug addict/dealer/gangstar
5 heart beats
Incredible Actor. Praying for his health and strength.
Hopefully he’s doing well. I seen him in a couple episodes of black lightening last season.
I wish him well and whatever is going on with his health I hope and pray it gets better soon...🙏🙏
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.
💕✨🙏🏾
The worst thing people can do to themselves is take drugs once you put that garbage in your body your life will never be the same.
Facts
Crazy scene in Sugar Hill , singing Teddy Pendergrass "Love TKO" and Pissing on a Italian mobster and blasting him with a gun on each verse!!
Dope! I like when he was on the roof and was like “This is Harlem! The 9mm is the flavor they savor up here neighbor!”Classic!!!
Im gonna let it go! POW! Looks like another love TKO! POW!!
@@mikemike384 you ain't lying!
Right my favorite part 😂😂😂🏌🏌🤗
Lol that was my favorite scenes in that movie
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.
He laced an episode of Miami Vice in the 80's. I met him in Manhattan in 2008 at a food spot. Truly a humble person. Very talented at his craft. §alute and thank you for all of those iconic roles.
i remember 5 heartbeats he played kinda david ruffin singer in that movie.
Yeah & The Five Heartbeats also featured the actor Leon who played David Ruffin in The Temptations movie.
I remember V and the others . he was a good actress I think he should have been selected on a Grammy . praying that he received a healing in his body oh Lord and strengthen him as well. I love this Guy hard work he put out.
Actor
"actress"? "Grammy"? I'm praying you get some better spellcheck and guidance.
He was good at what he did acting, singing, performing, he should have been up there with Denzel Washington and Will Smith he was very good.
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH U 100%. MIKE U WERE OUTSTANDING AND U CAN BLOW ON SINGING. GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU. RESTORATION, LORD JESUS. TOUCH HIM RIGHT NOW IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS. I SPEAK IT IN THE MIGHTY POWERFUL NAME OF JESUS, THAT U R HEALED BY HIS STRIPES. AMEN AND AMEN!!! JESUS IS ON THE MAINLINE, RIGHT NOW.♥️
I really think his acting chops supercedes them both, and the sanging... whew!
Denzel Washington and Will Smith will never make A straight to DVD movie.
Damion Terry Michael Wright will never play a gay man like they did so he wins sorry.
@@clos1203 denzel never played a gay man.
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.
I enjoyed watching him as well. Such a talented man. As we live "Life" happens to us, rather self inflicted or accidental we are
all eligible for the ups and downs at some point. Whatever the case may be I wish him well. Thank you for sharing and much love to all.
He was truly a great actor I wish him all the best with his health you just never know
He is my favorite actor in The Five Heartbeats actually I like him in all his movies. Definitely keeping him in prayer. Whatever he is going through 🙏God has him. Much 💘 love and well wishes.
I truly feel he's much better some actors working today. My Prayers are with him . I have been wondering about this great actor. Thanks for filling my ponderings
