Does she have a twin that appeared as an extra here, or is is this Astrid Farnsworth hanging out with the Super Freak?

i think the pictures are enough proof, but just download the episode and watch it, it's clearly her. I was convinced on crappy youtube quality but I downloaded DVD quality just in case. there's 1 or 2 better shots also than the screenshots above.
that's fine if no one wants to believe it because she's not credited on the show, but saying the girl in the picture looks nothing like her anatomically or facially is completely false. saying she's never been photographed blonde before is a wilder claim than any the OP made -

The pictures are only "enough proof" if you haven't got a clue as to what Jasika Nicole's features and figure actually look like.
And while it's possible she'd dye her hair or wear a blonde wig for a role, twenty pages of google images won't show a single photo to suggest she's done it. And the role you're talking about is definitely not the one worth doing it for, nor is the actress in the picture as thin or fine-featured as Jasika Nicole a beautiful woman, but not the same one by a long shot.
But hey, she's black and has short hair. That's "enough proof" for you.
Take a look at JK's blog and history as an activist, artist and actress. Then come back here and keep insisting she'd have no problem with playing the stereotypical bleached concubine of a fictional Rick James.
Then again, you'd probably call the idea that an actress can have integrity "wild" as well. -

Dude, chill She's a lesbian, she won't be interested in you. The woman posted does have similar features as Jaskia. Maybe a little thicker, but it's not like he's comparing Tilda Swinton to Anna Torv; J.N. and this mystery blond do look alike. Physical features in Hollywood change depending on the role/current state of the actor. If the role calls for a thin female, the role's going to a thin female. If she's between gigs or just starting out, she's probably not going to be as self-conscious as everyone else in Hollywood. Do the math yourself; J.N.'s earliest role posted here is '03. Chappelle's show came out in. You guessed it, '03.
You say she could have donned a blond wig/dyed her hair for a role but not that of a stand-in on a syndicated TV series in 2003, worth $50 million in it's first season? Really? What did she have going on back then that something like being an extra was beneath her? Bills need to get paid, so she probably took whatever was in front of her-within reason. And how many times are extras put in the cast of characters? I was in Ferris Bueller's Day Off when I was a child, but every time I watch the end credits I never see my name. I see my face, plain as day every time, zero listings.
I'm not agreeing to the opinion that it's her, but I'm not ruling it out, either. It's possible that it is her, and it's possible that portraying a role like that motivated her to make said blog posts and/or become an activist. She probably did that bit part, got paid, felt humiliated by it and said "never again," like many actresses do (especially when it's a "degrading" role).
Speaking of degrading roles, I won't address the idiotic notion you made that portraying a FULLY CLOTHED ATTENDEE AT A PARTY SET IN THE 80s equates to being a "stereotypical concubine." I won't. Really.
And don't try pulling that "you're racist & trying to say all black people look alike" crap, because in a thread posted by YOU here, you say she looks reminiscent of Claudette Colbert; a French, white woman. Plus, I'm black myself, and we're immune to that remark
PS,

But I guess it's too much for you to just say "maybe she has a twin, but I don't see the resemblance. Hey, check out this dead French chick I posted that took exactly a year and two days for someone to agree with me on!" -

Congratulations on posting the most unintentionally hilarious comment on the thread. You thought you were only making one joke when you actually made three.
Jasika Nicole doesn't need me to "rescue" her any more than she's likely to be reading
IMDB
looking for her future romantic partners.
Yeah, there has to be a creepy motive behind the mere mention of a famous actress's history of integrity. And of course the same person who mentioned her history, and had just talked about her activism, couldn't possibly have a clue she's gay.
Your entire argument hinges on the idea that rejecting a ridiculous theory is the same as being intolerant. It's time you learned the difference between a prude ruining your internet ogling time and someone pointing out that gossip is merely gossip.
Conflating the two is a mistake people make on the internet every day. You're only the latest person to repeat it. -

This is very late reply and unrelated to most of your post, but I'm currently writing up something about extras in Ferris Bueller's Day Off and would love to speak with you. My contact info is at if you're interested.
Thanks!
