Cuba Gooding Jnr

Happy Birthday to

Cuba Gooding Jnr.

41 today

Cuba is a textbook case of how critial success can spoil you. Back in th day he was an electric force in films like Boyz in the Hood, and a welcome character actor in A Few Good Men. Then Oscar called for his performance as Rod Tidwell and since then it's been all downhill. Maybe we all thought his work in American Gangster in 2007 may be the start of a rehabilitation. Alas no, in the next 12 moths he has a knock-off Resident Evil and a film where he plays second string to Christian Slater. Could he possibly slip any lower?
