Michael Jai White applauds his co-star Dion Cole for his doing an amazing job with his character in the newly released movie, ‘A Snowy Day in Oakland’. The Hollywood star, who tries to come up with a story that touches hearts, lauded the comedian for forming an emotional bond with the audience in the 2023 project. The 55-year-old recalled one particular scene when Cole’s engaging and immersive scene left the audience in tears.

The martial artist-turned-actor became a household name with his portrayal of Mike Tyson in a 1995 HBO film, ‘Tyson’. He then ascended to the cult classic hero status when his 2009 movie ‘Black Dynamite’ racked in positive reviews. While he recently talked about how Samuel L. Jackson missed a cameo in his super hit movie, he also touched upon his other project- ‘A Snowy Day in Oakland’.

Michael Jai White called Dion Cole after his role deeply touched the audience

The action film star sat down with DJ Vlad in an interview. Amusingly, the host pointed out that White’s recent movie, ‘A Snowy Day in Oakland’, had an anomaly when it comes to the title. He mentioned it never snows in Oakland and further noted one of the co-stars Dion Cole made an appearance with him just a little while back.

This sent the guest down memory lane and especially when he saw the movie in the theater. He then admitted the scene where Cole’s character, David, wraps up everything, and left the audience wailing.

White said, “Dion [Cole] did a great job. I was in the theater and people were crying because of Dion Cole. That scene man- he wraps everything else up and he did that. My brother, like, I had to call him on that one, that he did a great job.”

This is the kind of impact White wants to create with his movies, which he successfully did with ‘Black Dynamite’.

White tries to uplift people with his stories

Earlier in the conversation, he announced, while referring to ‘Black Dynamite’, how he wanted to depict a story that has occurred throughout history. Moreover, he focuses on telling in a unique way which offers some solutions.

He stated, “I’m trying to tell was a story that’s happened throughout history over 60 times in different communities where black thriving communities met their demise at this hostility.”

“I’m telling it in a different way but offering some solutions and offering kind of a story that I think can uplift people,” he added later.
