| 3 | ->''"I was raised with a sense of entrepreneurship - my father owned a roofing business, and I grew up with the idea that you never want someone telling you what you can and cannot do. I took that to heart. Instead of becoming an engineer like my brother, I moved to New York to be an actor."'' |

| 52 | ---- |
| 53 | !!He provides examples of: |
| 54 | * TheBigEasy: He is a very, very, ''very'' vocally proud native of New Orleans. |
| 55 | * CatchPhrase: Going by the extra features of the ''Winter Soldier'' Blu-Ray, he's fond of saying "Cut the check!" (In the sense of "Good job, guys; we earned our pay today.") |
| 56 | * CelebrityParadox: He stars in ''Film/{{Synchronic}}'', which (via connections with ''Film/{{Resolution}}'' and ''Film/TheEndless'') is in the same universe as ''Film/{{Spring}}'', in which ''Film/EightMile'' is mentioned. |
| 57 | * {{Keet}}: Just watch him playing superhero charades. |
| 58 | * PromotedFanboy: He's such a big fan of ComicBook/TheFalcon that he was actually ''disappointed'' when he found out the filmmakers weren't going to have him wear the red spandex costume the character wears in the comics. |
| 59 | * SitcomArchNemesis: Plays up a rivalry with Creator/TomHolland, due to the younger actor stealing his CatchPhrase on set of ''Civil War''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MTMjHZYpfE Consider this montage of him (and Sebastian Stan) roasting Holland.]] |
| 60 | * SoMyKidsCanWatch: He claims he pursued the role of ComicBook/TheFalcon in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse so that his son and other African-American children can see that there are superheroes who look like them. Mackie was pretty excited to see there'd be kids dressing up like him on Halloween. Even cooler now that his character ''is'' Captain America. |
| 61 | * ThoseTwoActors: He's starred alongside Creator/ChrisEvans in ''What's Your Number?'', ''A Many Splintered Thing'', ''Film/PlayingItCool'', ''Film/{{Ghosted|2023}}'', and in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse. |
| 62 | * TokenMinority: Mackie himself has joked that he often ends up playing the lone African American character in many of his films. A RunningGag in the HilariousOuttakes of MCU films he appears in is asking the director(s) what ''other'' more famous and revered black actors they want him to emulate. |
