Jasmine Guy campaigns for Obama
For the actress and writer, giving a stump speech for the presidential hopeful was a personal effort rather than working from a script.

"I believe in this man," Guy told her audience. "There's something different happening in our country that I never thought I'd see in my lifetime. We're actually celebrating a man for being the man he is without an 'in spite of."'

<...>

For Guy, the message was one of confidence that Obama would be the best candidate to relate to people's daily struggles. She assailed economic difficulties that pressure parents to work long hours at the same time they're asked to spend more time cultivating family values. She also pushed a message of international peace.

"You don't go to war without a plan," Guy said. "Arrogance keeps you from understanding other people's culture and respecting other people's culture. … I believe Obama will be accountable."

8. Cosby spin off...
Lisa Bonet was in it the first year or so, then she left...not that great and a little pretentious, but it got good ratings for a while...

He was Wesley Snipes sidekick in White Men Can't Jump...you might have seen him there...
