black-ish made television history last night
Last night, black-ish brought us into the middle of the tough conversations black families have been forced to have more and more recently. It did so with the utmost thought and humor, all the while giving nuanced, important depth to the issues of police brutality — including the characterization of police.

Don Cheadle needed a white co-star to get the Miles Davis movie made
It’s hard to get movies financed in Hollywood, but Don Cheadle convinced investors to pay for his new film using a simple trick. He hired a white guy. “Having a white actor in this film turned out to be a financial imperative,” Cheadle told reporters Thursday. The other clever, atypical way he got funding.
Update: Don Cheadle has spoken directly to Mic about what it took to get Miles Ahead made. Here’s an excerpt from his statement:
Our collective experiences, examples that we had seen over and over, made it clear to us that we would have to lean into all the various ways to get this “difficult” movie made; deferring salaries, paying in, crowd-funding, finding tax incentives, begging for money from friends, and casting. But we never moved away from or reworked a concept of the movie for the sole purpose of including a white actor and no specific financier ever said to us, “Go get the white guy and we’ll make your movie.” We arrived at what we felt was ultimately the best iteration of the story we wanted to tell and Ewan Mcgregor fit perfectly. Having a white, disreputable reporter barge into Miles Davis’ life to poach his story, especially with Miles Davis’ (and this country’s, no less) history, provided Miles with the perfect foil and spur, gave us an engine and propelled the story ahead of and out of the standard bag. It was not a compromise. The casting was actually additive, maybe more expansive in a way and as stated, “a component of getting to a certain number…” A component. We dealt with the vicissitudes of the business and made our film.
