Louis Gossett Jr., who was the first Black man to win the Best Supporting Actor Oscar, has died. He was 87.

In his latest uInterview, writer, director and actor Michael Jai White spoke about the unusual concept of his latest film Outlaw Johnny Black and how he was able to juggle three roles.
White explained to uInterview founder Erik Meers how his movie is unique as it is “a mashup of several things.” The film has elements of “faith-based, blaxploitation, western, action, comedy, drama with Kung Fu.” White specifically intended Outlaw Johnny Black to have multiple genres in order to offer “something no one else has seen before.”
At its core, the film is “a story of loss and a story of forgiveness,” according to White, but he had to make sure that the audience could relate in some way. “During young Johnny’s life where young Johnny feels the loss of that parent and as does the audience,” he shared. “And that audience wants that retribution just as bad as Johnny does.

Tipping their Stetsons to a passel of 1960s Spaghetti Westerns — everything from “A Fistful of Dollars” to “They Call Me Trinity” — and the sort of 1970s Blaxploitation oaters that once provided steady employment for Fred Williamson, director-star Michael Jai White and co-star (and co-writer) Byron Keith Minns have cobbled together “Outlaw Johnny Black,” a fitfully funny but uncomfortably overlong entertainment best appreciated by movie buffs who share the pair’s affection for the genre tropes and stereotypes they seriocomically recycle.
Not nearly as free-wheeling and fleet-footed as “Black Dynamite,” the 2009 satirical comedy that cast White as a Shaft-like action hero, the new film nonetheless provides more than a few good laughs, even when it seems to be taking horse opera clichés a tad too respectfully, and showcases a fine cast of actors dedicated to both the silliness and the seriousness of the enterprise.
