The director just wanted good Somali actors, so he gave the jobs to Barkhad and his friends, and the auditions where taken right next to their residence. If Barkhad ever requested 3%, then they would've took his name off the list and give the role to someone else. He's in no position to request that, he's replaceable.

I said ONE MAJOR MOVIE, which might explain why he barely has any coins. I wasnt being a hater.
Just admit it, you are a hater. Say "I am a hater".
Bright future in Hollywood, really? I like him but lets be real, he may get parts here and there but he's roles are very limited, if that makes any sense. He was lucky to even be nominated for the academy awards.
I remember when Lupita got her Oscars, everyone was happy for her. She played a slave, imagine if a Somali played a slave, emphasis on PLAYED. This ape @Morphius would be first in line to insult them even if it was acting. The concept of success is limited in Somalis because the moment they venture outside the tiny barriers of social norm they get insulted for it.

I understand where you coming from, but the guy has a foot in now and can always build on his acting as he goes.
Barkhad Abdi is an insult bro
Look all over the Internet
Finally someone who gets it.
It seems as Somali people we have become happy with a very low threshold.
So if they throw one or two people from Somalia at the screen we are cool. If a guy related to us plays pirate or a warlord, a hoodie, jihadist that is okay -- he is Somali. That's the standard of "Okay."
Well it isn't okay. To say we have "Somali actors" has no meaning if they repeat the negative, degrading agenda of Western cinema.
When people do not know themselves, you can show them Somali actors in a monkey suit throwing bananas at the audience and they will be given a standing ovation.

You guys are a bunch of haters.
For a person who never acted before Captain Phillips and that was his first movie he's doing pretty great for himself. Most of you are probably on government hand out.

criticism = hate apparently Yes, Let him do his and get ahead but Why do you people have to put this guy on a pedestal?? it's honestly embarrassing as shit to have him as "our guy" or "our biggest shit" or "our representative".
Let's just wait until our Lupita comes through and leave this guy be with his business. He isn't the one.
