These comments got us to thinking about some of his previous unhinged characters. One of Ealy’s more notable roles includes Beau Willie in Tyler Perry’s 2010 drama film For Colored Girls, where he famously drops his kids out of a window.
Another role fans can recall is Ealy as Carter Duncan in the 2015 thriller drama The Perfect Guy, starring Sanaa Lathan and Morris Chestnut. Carter swoons Lathan’s character Leah after a devastating breakup. Their budding romance quickly turns into a dangerous match as Carter reveals his true, volatile nature, forcing Leah to turn the tables on the man she assumed was “the perfect guy.”
Ealy has portrayed a deranged, psychotic character so often that fans are often awaiting his next wild move. He was recently featured in Peacock’s Bel-Air as a renowned art gallery owner, who was seemingly charming his way into Vivian Banks’ life. Though the first season didn’t reveal any crazy antics, fans were still on edge going into the second season (Ealy didn’t appear). The latest character he’s added to his resume of ridiculousness is Detective Don Carter, who he played in the fourth and final season of the hit Starz show Power Book II: Ghost. Carter was a dirty cop with a vendetta towards drug dealers, driven by his wife’s death from crossfire between rival drug gangs. He obviously played the role extremely well because fans constantly expressed how much they hated his character.
The actor has been crowned the unhinged villain of Hollywood with his countless crazy characters.
