Lee’s Troupe
Susan King neglected to mention a modern-day director who has used a pretty impressive group of stock players in his films (“They’re Company Men and Women,” Nov. 26). That director would be one Spike Lee.
The stock players are: Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee, Giancarlo Esposito, Samuel L. Jackson, Bill Nunn, Wesley Snipes, John and Nicholas Turturro, and Denzel Washington. Films they appeared in: “School Daze,” “Do the Right Thing,” “Mo’ Better Blues,” “Jungle Fever,” “Malcolm X,” “He Got Game.”
