Why tyler perry in star trek

His humor is reaching a lot of people and the message is a positive one. Okay, so Perry is the Headmaster of Starfleet academy. I bet he will lecture Jim Kirk about the consequences of cheating…. Anywho, I think its good…will bring in additionally viewers and certainly cannot hurt the film! His goofy TBS comedy is not Lost. His goofy limited appeal movies are not major Hollywood films. The guy has made a lot of money with very limited investment. He is a one-man ATM, which makes the studios very pleased.

Do you get offended when you see the dozens of trailers running on TV at any given time that feature next to no black people, or is it just offensive when the white faces are outnumbered? God, that was just a stupid thing to say. And Stanky, you continue to baffle me. I mean, if this were a thread pertaining to something actually worth debating over? Then yeah, your odd little campaigning would make sense. But going out of your way to remind us, once again, that you hate this movie, have always hated this movie, will always hate this movie, and hate everything related to this movie, in a thread about one little interview by a cameo character?

Nobody cares what they do :-P. His stories, movies and TV shows, all represent and pay homage to aspects of modern African American Life. He does definitely have a built in audience, and his stuff is pretty darned funny and touching and well written, and they always have some sort of message for the Black Community. Inline Feedbacks.

Oh, if only Madea had been Commandant of Starfleet Academy…. Tyler Perry. Lousy Canadian. King Of All Blacks. Brett Campbell. Mike Ten. Capt Mike of the Terran Empire. I have never heard of him.

But if he can help bring more people to Trek then Kool. Captain Presley. Short of trolling, Anthony. True Blood. Perry's part is ultimately quite small, with Admiral Barnett first being seen at a Starfleet Academy disciplinary hearing for Kirk when he "cheats" during his Kobayashi Maru test.

Kirk is accused by Spock of altering the test which is against the rules, and Barnett presides over the two arguing the merits of the unwinnable simulation. Perry's Barnett reappears again at the end of the film when Kirk is promoted to Enterprise Captain following the crew's victory over villain Nero. While some critics claimed it was too distracting to have Tyler Perry - the star of the Madea series - appearing in a serious Star Trek role, he does a fine job with his two scenes.

Even if he hadn't, Admiral Barnett is such a small role that it wouldn't have made much difference. Perry's next film was an adaptation of his play Meet the Browns in , followed by The Family That Preys that same year. Perry completed work and has seen the theatrical release of his new film For Colored Girls starring Whoopi Goldberg.

Perry is not a Star Trek fan and only decided to appear in 's Star Trek because he appreciated the work of J.
