Yeah, but most of them went straight to Video.
Besides Underwood has more IR hookups than the examples used above.
Side note: Peebles had a small recurring part during the first season of LA Law before Underwood joined the cast as a regular.
Anyway I'm happy that Underwood realized about a decade ago the con game going on in Hollywood in which he as a black male was not supposed to have white female love interests but it was "okay" for white men being paired with black women on screen. Since then he has been set free so to speak in choosing to take roles opposite white women. And the great thing about it to me is that he is a proud black dude who has been married to the same black wife for over 20 years, so he doesn't have to prove his credentials to the whiny black womenfolk out there.
