A satire on the ups & downs of being a black actor in Hollywood, Hollywood Shuffle writer/producer/director Robert Townsend (The Five Heartbeats) stars as Bobby Taylor, a young black actor whose attempts to find work are dashed when told that he's not black enough for the roles being offered. With jobs limited to stereotypes (gang-bangers, pimps and Uncle Toms'), Bobby's struggles are told through a series of comic fantasies and dreams, making all-too-real that he needs to do the Hollywood Shuffle. Co-starring Keenen Ivory Wayans (Scary Movie, TV's In Living Color), Anne-Marie Johnson (Pursuit of Happiness), and Helen Martin (Kiss The Girls, TV's 227), Hollywood Shuffle is written, produced & directed by Robert Townsend (Streets of Fire, The Five Heartbeats, The Mighty Quinn, A Soldier's Story).
