Michael Jai White weighed in on comedian Aries Spears's criticism that rapper-turned-actors Ice Cube, 50 Cent, and others lack range in their performances. According to Spears, these performers often play versions of themselves or stick to roles that align with their natural personas, leading to a limited scope in their acting performances. White tended to agree but argued that most actors, not just those transitioning from music to film, often play versions of themselves. He emphasized that actors are often hired specifically to embody their own personas. He shared that in his acting career, he tries to avoid playing characters that mirror his true self.
