Would you describe him as fat? But he doesn't really seem fat-fat, but still... Lawrence Fishburne's look throws me off. Maybe it's the bald head tricking but I can't figure out if this guy is fat or not. He looks fat from the neck up but he doesn't really have much of what I'd call a beer gut at all. What an ambiguously-weighted individual. --I am not good at running 03:03, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

Well, in the matrix sequels he's clearly wearing a girdle during all his stunts, so..--152.163.100.71 21:29, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

I removed the link to Always Outnumbered, Always Outgunned (1998), as it was not a movie article. Is this a movie? --Дрakюлa^Talk 00:52, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

I am not good at running- that was possibly the most humerous discussion note i have ever read, purely because i dont think you even meant it to be that way.Trottsky 20:54, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Contents 1 Language is too simple 2 Photo 3 Movie 4 Mistake.

[edit] Language is too simple

I'd rather put this on simple english wikipedia. Theres barely any details about him or the use of english is not complex!

Someone needs to add his cocaine history. It's reported that he has a hole in his nose due to the cocaine he used.

[edit] Photo

If there is someone who knows how to add a photo, i really think this article would benefit from it.

Done :) --Стайко 14:57, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I've found a freely licensed photo and added it to the article. It is rather small and not the best image, but it works nicely here. If someone can find a better image, that is also freely licensed, then by all means replace this one, Image:Laurence Fishburne fences.jpg. -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 00:52, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Surely a better picture of him exists... at least in higher resolution.

[edit] Movie

I think Fishburne could have been in The Warriors (1979). I'm not sure. You can see a picture at [[1]] —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.75.63.9 (talk) 02:13, August 22, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mistake.

"Fishburne started acting at age thirty-five getting his big break in 1973 portraying ..." despite being born in 1961. I don't know the factual details to correct this.
