Kevin Bacon
I always think he seems like a victim, but at first he seems like the baddy, so you don't feel sorry for him, but in the end he is not so bad.

What about Morgan Freeman as the wiseman? They always get him to play a wiseman, so it makes them look non-racist.

Here is my idea of what goes through casring execs minds:

"If we have a blackman in a minor role as an intelligent person, no one could possibly accuse us of racism! Even though we quite clearly are."
