Before Fame: 20 Black A-Listers Who Starred in Canceled Shows
Even A-listers start somewhere. These 20 Black celebrities appeared in shows that were canceled before hitting their stride — but the stars certainly didn't. Not every superstar begins their career with a blockbuster hit. In fact, some of the biggest names in Black Hollywood had their earliest roles in short-lived or forgotten TV shows. These series may have flopped, but they served as stepping stones for actors who went on to become household names. Think of it as a 'before they were famous' moment — a peek into the humble (and sometimes bizarre) beginnings of today's A-list talent. Whether it was a sitcom that didn't make it past season one or a drama buried under poor ratings, these canceled shows gave rising stars their first shot. From Oscar winners to Marvel heroes, these Black actors pushed through Hollywood's early rejections and emerged as icons. You might be surprised by how many got their start in TV shows you've never heard of — or barely remember. Tap in as we revisit 20 Black celebrities who turned early career flops into full-blown fame. 20 Black Movies That Flopped But Are Now Certified Classics The Residence Canceled by Netflix—And It's Not the Only Black-Led Show Cut Too Soon 20 Black Women in Film Who Proved One Role Can Change Everything Before Fame: 20 Black A-Listers Who Starred in Canceled Shows was originally published on 1.

Jordan – The Assistants (2009) This comedy series aired on BET and was canceled quickly, but Jordan was already showing star power. 3. Jamie Foxx – Roc (1992, guest role) Before The Jamie Foxx Show, he appeared in this gritty, underrated sitcom — a stepping stone to stardom. 4. Zendaya – Shake It Up (2010–2013) A Disney hit that launched her, but the show was canceled after 3 seasons, just before her global breakout. 5. Donald Glover – Community (2009–2015) While a cult hit, Community was shuffled and canceled repeatedly — Glover left before his music and Emmy run. 6. Chadwick Boseman – Lincoln Heights (2007–2009) Before Black Panther, Chadwick had a recurring role on this family drama that ended after 4 seasons. 7. Kerry Washington – Wonderfalls (2004) She had a brief appearance before Scandal fame in this cult-favorite Fox series canceled after 4 episodes. 8.

Octavia Spencer – Halfway Home (2007) A short-lived improv-based sitcom on Comedy Central — Spencer was far from the Oscar winner she'd become. 10. Mahershala Ali – The 4400 (2004–2007) Ali starred in this sci-fi series on USA Network before grabbing two Oscars. 11. Queen Latifah – Living Single (1993–1998) Canceled after 5 seasons despite high ratings. Its legacy? Paving the way for Friends — and for Latifah's TV/film career. 12.

The show was critically acclaimed but canceled after just six episodes — now it's a hidden gem for Elba fans. 13. Anthony Mackie – All the Way (2001) A political miniseries that disappeared fast, but gave Mackie his first major exposure. 14. Yara Shahidi – The First Family (2012–2013) Before Black-ish, Shahidi starred in this sitcom about a fictional Black president — it didn't last. 15. Lakeith Stanfield – The Get Down (2016–2017) Netflix axed it after one season, but Stanfield's scene-stealing role helped him land Atlanta and Judas and the Black Messiah. 16.

Danai Gurira – Treme (2010–2013) Before The Walking Dead and Black Panther, she played a fierce activist in this HBO post-Katrina drama. 18.

Tyler, The Creator Warns ‘Don't Tap The Glass' On New Album
Tyler, the Creator Tyler, the Creator might be on tour in support of his 2024 album Chromakopia, but the Grammy-winning superstar hasn't let the busy schedule get in the way of creating new music. Just a few days ago, the Los Angeles-area native announced the impending release of his ninth studio album, Don't Tap the Glass; the LP is out now via Columbia Records. Tyler first teased that something was coming July 21 with cryptic posts on social media. On July 18, artwork featuring him and the album's title appeared outside his concert at Brooklyn's Barclays Center. The project's announcement arrived hours later. In the lead-up to the album's release, Tyler downplayed any hype around the project, including speculation that it would be a concept album. 'Y'all better get them expectations and hopes down,' he wrote on X. 'This ain't no concept nothing.' The 10-track project was born out of a desire to create a party album that people can dance to. He was satisfied with what he made after holding a listening event and seeing hundreds of people react exactly how he wanted them to. 'I asked some friends why they don't dance in public and some said because of the fear of being filmed. I thought, 'Damn, a natural form of expression and a certain connection they have with music is now a ghost.' It made me wonder how much of our human spirit got killed because of the fear of being a meme, all for having a good time,' he wrote on social media. 'This album was not made for sitting still. Dancing, driving, running—any type of movement is recommended to maybe understand the spirit of it.' Chromakopia: The World Tour continues its North American leg in Montreal on July 22 before continuing on to Australasia and Asia later this summer. The tour wraps up Sept. 21 in Quezon City, Philippines.
