Tichina Arnold Deserves to Be A Star - Page 2

That being said, why not cast Arnold as the next Doctor Who? I'm sure that would be a radical change from the ADD version of the character we've been getting with David Tennant and it would be a nice follow-up to the introduction of the first black actor as a co-star on the series since the show began. But you know some DW fans, they argue the same semantics.

And, perhaps, it's just too PC for their tastes.

Perhaps J.J. Abrams could even cast her as the captain of the next Star Trek series should the new prequel take off. If they can give a ship to Dr. Sam Beckett, then they should be able to give one to Pam James.

Alright, you're not convinced she deserves even a movie of her own, what about this?

Still think I'm crazy? The girl can sing. She's got a collection of snippets of her own music over at her China Moon Rag company site (a business she's owned for awhile). Officially, she's got one actual song (which she sang with Tisha Campbell) called "Don't Ask My Neighbor", which is available on the soundtrack to the film Sprung.

I could be out of my mind for supporting someone out of the thousand of other qualified black actresses and actors that deserve equal praise. But like people always say, the answer is very simple:

There's just something about her.
