Blair Underwood has been around in acting for a very very long time. Underwood was on LA Law back in the late 1980s in his early twenties.Blair is definitely very attractive, very talented, very masculine and tall and I don't understand why he hasn't had a bigger career. He's clearly as talented if not more talented than Will Smith or Cuba Gooding Jr. yet Blair has never gotten the big roles? I wonder why?

Because he plays the same type over and over and over again.

He was given his lifelines, e.g. Just Cause was a BIG movie and role but blame the agent and the PR men, taking supporting roles in films like Set It Off didn't help after the success of Just Cause, but time is on his side he still looks good. But I agree should have been a leading man a long time ago

I agree with previous post - Blair's performance on In Treatment was Amazing! Seems like Hollywood lets only a select few actors reach the top (A-list movies or Action films) and Blair may not be on their rader. He is an accomplished author so I am sure he is doing projects outside of show business.

Because if you're a good actor, your career won't progress. If you're a bad actor, you get the leading roles.
Admit it, you're a fu** up!
