    In Hollywood's colorful history, some people are memorable not just for their acting but for how they look and carry themselves. Among these notable giants, we find Calvin Lane, a towering …. I guess about 7 feet 5 inches tall, who comes from the heart of Dallas, Texas. You might remember him from a memorable episode of *Walker, Texas Ranger*, titled "Deep Cover," which aired in 1995. There stands Lane, a true colossus of a man, going toe-to-toe with none other than Chuck Norris. It was an awe-inspiring moment; Lane was the biggest man I had ever witnessed Norris battle, a scene forever etched in my memory. Calvin Lane is very handsome too and fit for Hollywood.

    Before Calvin Lane, I was captivated by the work of Michael Clarke Duncan, whom we all remember from unforgettable films like ‘The Green Mile’ of 1999 and ‘Daredevil’ of 2003. Standing at 6 feet 5 inches, Duncan commanded the screen with a charisma that made him larger than life. After his untimely passing in 2012, I found myself reflecting on the loss and wondering who could possibly step into his shoes, particularly for the role of Kingpin in ‘Daredevil’. In my mind now, Calvin Lane could have been that worthy successor, a fitting giant in both stature and talent. But perhaps it was never meant to be, as life often takes its own unpredictable turns.

    Hollywood is a double-edged sword of glitz and glamour, yet it also harbors stories of struggle—stories of talented stars grappling with health and the pressures that come with fame. I've often mourned the loss of many beloved figures from the silver screen, each departure a stark reminder of the fleeting nature of life and stardom.

    As for Calvin Lane, I find myself pondering his journey. Is he still gracing the world with his presence? I hope fervently that he is doing well—after all, his sheer size was matched only by the warmth he radiated through his roles. The industry is robust, but it often fills the void left by those extraordinary individuals who once walked its stage. The world may have moved on, but there’s something truly timeless about giants like Calvin Lane and Michael Clarke Duncan—both are part of an unforgettable legacy.

    Today, as we face our own challenges, let us look to an incredible man who shows us what strength and determination truly mean—Terence Allan Crawford. Born in the lively city of Omaha on September 28, 1987, Terence is a champion in the ring. He is a shining example of hope and proof that we can overcome any difficulties life throws at us.

    Terence has fought his way to the top, winning world titles in four different weight classes. He didn’t just stumble into success; he worked hard, fighting with every bit of strength he had. An undisputed champion, he reminds us that real strength isn’t about never falling, but about having the courage to stand up every time we do.

    Today, let us learn from Terence’s example. Life, like boxing, is a tough battle against things that try to hold us back. The blows may come; they may hit hard, but we must keep our heads held high, standing firm and focusing on our goals.

    Let the world throw its challenges our way, for we have strength in our hearts. Every setback is a lesson, and every fall is just a chance to get back up. Just as Terence has raised those championship belts, we too can own the triumphs in our own lives. We must not let our hardships define us.

    Like Terrence, we need to train our minds and spirits building determination in our toughest moments. Our true character shines through. Each day let us shine to be better, stronger, and unite in our fight for our dreams.

    When the final round comes, may we look back and say I gave it my own I face the struggle and came out not just surviving but thriving.

    Terence Crawford is one of only three male boxers in history to become the undisputed champion in two weight classes in the “four belt era.”

    Crawford was named fighter of the year by the Boxing Writers Association of America in 2014 and by ESPN in 2014 and 2017.

    Terrence Crawford resembles professional boxer Tommy Hearns, who fought from 1977 to 2006. There was a period when boxing seemed to be losing it appeal but seeing dedicated fighters like Terrence Crawford reignites my interest in the sport.

  • Stephan James 8:8:24 1.14 PM

    Intro: Gail Nobles
    Story and art by: Gail Nobles

    Stephan James was called by author Kelly L. Carter the new powerhouse about action and activism. I must agree. I must agree. He starred in the 2019 movie 21 Bridges with Chadwick Boseman. It was an action thriller film directed by Brian Kirk and written by Adam Mervis and Matthew Michael Carnahan, based on a story by Mervis. After starring in a string of television series as a teenager, the Canadian actor rose to prominence upon winning a Canadian Screen Award for Best Actor for his role as track and field sprinter Jesse Owens in the 2016 film Race.In

    2018, he starred in Barry Jenkins' acclaimed drama film If Beale Street Could Talk, based on the James Baldwin novel of the same name. Also that year, he portrayed Walter Cruz in the Amazon series Homecoming, for which he received a Golden Globe Award nomination.

    Stephan James reminds me of Chadwick Boseman. Often I think of Chadwick Boseman and how great he was in acting. It hurt that he had to leave us. I wanted to see him do more movies for the comicbook hero Black Panther. I know that it’s hard to let Chadwick go. He left his mark on the character, but we no longer have him to play the characters.

    The movie is becoming just like what happened in the comic books. Several characters have taken on the mantle of Black Panther. It’s too soon for that in my opinion. We only got to see the character once in movies. The Black Panther character needs a chance to grow in the movies.

    There are probably various storylines like there are a number of characters for the Black Panther. We need to continue to see the Black Panther.

    Stephan James could play the role of the Black Panther. Like Chadwick, he has remarkable acting charisma that captivates audiences. He could also bring strength, dignity, and depth to the character. He has the ability to convey emotion.

    Thank you for listening to Ebonliner.
