7	----
8	!!Tropes that apply to this actor include:
9
10	* ColorblindCasting: Is frequently cast in a role where it's essential to the plot that he's a blood relative of a white character (Grandpa in ''Theatre/TheTrailToOregon'', Bill in ''Theatre/TheGuyWhoDidntLikeMusicals'').
11	* SmallRoleBigImpact: Multiple times he's had relatively less stage time than other actors but blown away the audience with an ''extremely'' memorable solo ("Big T's Temptation" in ''Theatre/MeAndMyDick'', "Our Doors Are Open" in ''Theatre/BlackFriday'', arguably the "Grandpa Dies" version of "You Gotta Go" in ''Theatre/TheTrailToOregon'').
12	* TokenMinority: Was unfortunately the only black actor in several of the shows he was in (''Theatre/MeAndMyDick'', ''Theatre/TheTrailToOregon'' and ''Theatre/TheGuyWhoDidntLikeMusicals''). The Creator/LangBrothers have pledged to be better about this in the future.
13	* UnderageCasting: In two of his most famous roles, Grandpa from ''The Trail to Oregon'' and Bill from the Hatchetfield series, he played someone significantly older than he is in RealLife (an elderly grandpa and a middle-aged dad).
