Some people say actors of color can't catch a break in Hollywood, but at least one did today, as a Hannibal Buress lookalike crashed the Spider-Man: Homecoming premiere by claiming to be Hannibal Buress. People noticed the double when he interviewed the Tamara Krinsky, one of Marvel's employees who was covering the event on their livestream.
Now, while Buress claimed on Twitter that the person who was both visibly clearly not him and sounded absolutely nothing like him was in fact really him, apparently earlier today in a now-deleted Instagram post, he promised $500 to anyone who could go to an event in his place. It seems the lucky fellow was this guy, and it took till an on-air interview for someone to notice. Naturally, as you can imagine, the interview with this deceptive double has been taken down from Marvel's official YouTube page.
