I don't know who either of them are.
You should get out more and watch some movies.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Did/does Will Smith travel well?  I have this impression that international markets aren't that enamored of black actors.

Very popular with Fresh Prince in France as well back then.
As for other black actors, Wesley Snipes had quite a following in the '90s.

Still, you can look at Will Smith's streak in the 2000s (another example of old school movie star), and see how many middling movies he turned into blockbusters.

A few examples, bitte.

Yeah, Wild Wild West was perhaps one of the worst movies ever made but it had Will Smith so it still attracted an audience.

That movie had a built-in audience from the old TV show, though.  Saying Will Smith was the big draw is sort of like saying that Matt Leblanc was the big draw for that Lost in Space movie.

The demographic that went to see that movie was not the built in audience you are talking about.

Over here the TV show is virtually unknown. Far, far, far less known than Will Smith, not to mention the tie in music video he made for Wild Wild West.

Does interspecies porn promote stereotypes?
