I've seen Doubt as well and she is riveting but her role in Antwone Fisher is tops because she only has like four lines...its what she does with silence. You want to hate this mother who gave her child away while incarcerated but you can't because Viola Davis turns her into a real.person in less than five minutes and with fewer than 50 words. Watch that film you won't regret it! I've been on the lookout for her ever since that role.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02164753717449393374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-83989012377435528952012-12-14T12:07:44.369-05:002012-12-14T12:07:44.369-05:00Oh I agree that she is far superior in Doubt than ...Oh I agree that she is far superior in Doubt than in The Help.

I don't know if she purposefully puts on weight and added makeup, but it always seems like directors are "making her ugly," for lack of a better term.<br /><br />In Traffic she's a jail worker that does Erika Christensen's intake<br /><br />In Syriana she's a high-level CIA operative<br /><br />In Disturbia she's one of Shia LaBeouf's case managers<br /><br />In State of Play she is a friend of Russell Crowe's<br /><br />You should see Doubt, not a great movie, but she's great in it!Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-65561907597118687692011-12-30T18:50:56.874-05:002011-12-30T18:50:56.874-05:00I was originally going to say that once you know h...I was originally going to say that once you know her, it is impossible to miss her however small her role is. But then I saw your list at the end of post. She is in Traffic?? Syriana?? Disturbia?? and State of Play?? I am almost sure that I saw them all after Doubt. So, I knew Viola Devis. But I DO NOT remember her in any of these movies. How ignorant of me!!SDGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09331736603243732602noreply@blogger.com
