And then there’s “white face”.

“In 1985, actor Phil Morris played black attorney Tyrone Jackson on the soap opera The Young and the Restless. He uses make-up to pass as a white man and infiltrate Joseph Anthony’s crime organization.”

I actually happened to see it for a few minutes on my three-channel tv back then, and he looked really weird.

Phil Morris played the Johnny Cochran parody character on Seinfeld. He is the son of Greg Morris, who played Barney the electronics wizard on Mission: Impossible.

An underrated actor IMO.

"That's totally inappropriate. Outrageous! Wait, Phil Morris? That's me!"
