Actor Michael Jai White revealed that filming for the third installment of Tyler Perry’s “Why Did I Get Married?” is complete and hailed it as the best film Perry has made so far. Having worked extensively with Perry, including on TV’s “For Better or Worse,” White praised the new movie’s depth and storytelling. He highlighted its unique exploration of parental flaws and the challenge of presenting idealized images to children—topics rarely addressed in films. The title, White explained, reflects a critical moment in relationships when couples question the reasons they got married, encouraging reflection on whether those reasons still hold true. White also shared excitement for season six of “The Family Business,” calling it the best yet, with intense action and new storylines.
White also reveals that in over 30 years, he hasn’t gone more than three months without actively working on a film or TV project. Despite turning down some roles, White credits his consistent work ethic and strategic choices for his steady career. White discussed the challenges actors face with Hollywood’s tendency to pigeonhole performers. While White acknowledges his strong presence in action films, he highlights his substantial comedy work on television, emphasizing his versatility. He also stresses the importance of actors learning all aspects of the industry—not just acting—to better navigate the business. White encourages actors not to take rejection personally, framing it as business, and acknowledges the increasing difficulty of sustaining a career in today’s entertainment landscape.
