He wrote a piece inspired by Jerry Maguire's famous "mission statement," regarding the issue and tried to get it published in the New York Times. The paper interviewed him but ultimately declined to publish the piece.

A veteran actor who appeared on “Friends” recalled witnessing racism on the set of the beloved NBC sitcom.
