Auteur Watch - Eddie Griffin

Like I need to tell you, when you're a celebrity like Eddie Griffin, mere film or TV directing just will not do.  A guy like that's gotta do it all, especially "Soundtrack" stuff.  He'd probably prefer to be in the music business, but whatever.  Two of his IMDb Top 4 involve him as a comedian, which is all right with him.  The third is, of course, the iconic Undercover Brother.  Which is okay, but he'd rather probably be known for more bad-ass fare like Double Take.  But he's still got skin in the game, playing "Pastor" in the new A Star is Born reboot.  Lady Gaga's in it, but she's probably not interested... yet!  Hope springs eternal.  I suggest opening with your old genealogical question: "Got any black in you?" then waiting a beat, and follow up with the follow-up question "Want some?"  What fellow big-time celebrity wouldn't be impressed by that?
