Mr. Colombus Short

After ripping on Armored I sort of felt bad for the lead actor of the film. One Mr. Colombus Short. I made fun of all the actors but everyone else is a recognizable face (yes even you Skeet). Colombus Short might just possibly be a great actor if he’s given more opportunity. Yeah, he might have been a dancer in You Got Served and he might have Save The Last Dance 2 on his resume but many people came from humble or not so prestigious backgrounds. Harrison Ford was a set carpenter, Will Smith was somewhat of a rapper, Nicolas Cage was Nicolas Cage. So I just wanted to go on record saying that he wasn’t bad in Armored but the movie wasn’t good and a up-and-coming-actor shouldn’t be blamed for this flop. If you haven’t seen it already go out and rent Cadillac Records. Colombus Short’s performance as Little Walter is powerful and menacing. He is able to make his presence known among a movie with Adrian Brody, Beyonce, Mos Def, and an incredible Jeffrey Wright as Muddy Waters. It’s not the best movie in the world but check it out. And don’t just scoff at Colombus Short, who if given the chance could have a career in Hollywood.
