During an interview with vultureJackson revealed how he and Lee had a disagreement over a salary dispute for Malcolm X (1992), directed by Spike Lee. The actor turned down the role of Baineswho stayed with albert hall. It is worth remembering how the two friends worked together on Jungle Fever (1991), Fight for the Right Thing (1988) and Do the right thing (1989).

“I used to call my agent every day to see if I had any auditions, callbacks, anything,” continued Jackson. “And my line to her every day was, ‘Hollywood call?’ She would reply, ‘No, sir.’ So one day I called, she said, ‘Actually, yeah, they did. You just won an award at the Cannes Film Festival.’ And I was surprised: ‘What? For what?’ it was for Jungle Fever.”

I said, ‘They don’t give out supporting actor awards in Cannes.’ My agent commented, ‘They made one up for you.’ Get the fuck out of here! ‘And consequently these people in hollywood want to see him in the movie white sands.’
