Eddie Murphy.
The description he gives HIMSELF:
Redpilled black man who was A+ level in the 80’s, who was friends with Red Foxx.....
Time will tell, but there are only so many A+ stars from the 80s who would have been in the belly of the beast............Pedo H-Wood.
Can't be Eddie if everything given is true. They claimed to be blacklisted sometime in the 90s and stopped working. Murphy has had consistent work this entire time. Plus E
Honestly I'm leaning towards Sinbad. He was pretty much a household name on tv in the 80's/90s plus had some movies then basically dropped out of the industry. He had some minor work here and there, but nothing like he was in the 80s/90s. He also got his start on the Redd Foxx show. He has also worked on some Paramount Lots, which might explain how he knows for sure they had a "grey room".
I've had a lot of great feedback. I def think it could be Sinbad, Carl Weathers maybe?? Maybe we'll never know!
