Actor Laz Alonso wins big at NAACP Image awards!

wlsnandrea — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 19:59:24 +0000

Alonso was up for a Best Actor award for his role in Jumping The Broom, a fantastic film about two Black families from different sides of the proverbial tracks about to be bound together by marriage. One of the things I love so much about Alonso is that he is super vocal about the fact that he is both Latino and Black and the fluidity with which he moves between roles written for different cultures just proves his diverse acting skills are on point. So of course, he won!
