I was talking to Knobbz about Mike Tyson’s cameo in The Hangover, and his OG movie cameo in Black & White came up. Black & White is one of the most slept on movies ever, the Mike Tyson & Wu-Tang roles certify it as a cult classic. However, I never understood about why in the world Allan Houston was cast. If you haven’t seen it, check these clips:

The great part about this scene is that Mike didn’t know that they were taping. The director was having a hard time getting Mike to be “natural emotion” and after several shots took Robert aside and asked him to ab lib a few lines and they would role unbeknown to Mike.
Robert D, was really bitch slapped by Mike, that was not Hollywood magic going on there. It explains why he had this weird smirk through the scene for awhile, cause he didn’t know WTF was going on.
