Posted project update #3Why Women Just Say What They Mean??
Post Comment"Are you mad??" "No, I'm not mad.....it's fine."
Mystery Solved!Do you ever get the sinking feeling that you might not be in your lady's good graces? You ask if she is upset only for her to reply, "No, I'm not upset. It's fine."

commented on a project updateHandsome and elegant African-American actor Alimi Ballard recalls such contemporaries as the St. Elsewhere-era Denzel_Washington and Blair Underwood, but has only gradually begun to draw like stature and acclaim. After cutting his acting chops as a frequent guest star on various U.S. television series for decades, including Loving, NYPD Blue, and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Ballard worked his way up to recurring roles in several U.S. television programs around the turn of the millennium. Ballard is perhaps best known for his portrayal of urban philosopher Herbal Thought, who offered wise counsel to bioengineered superhero Max Guevara (Jessica_Alba), on the James Cameron-produced apocalyptic actioner Dark_Angel (2000), starring Jessica_Alba. Ballard procured another regular TV role a few years later, playing Special Agent David Sinclair opposite Rob_Morrow and Judd_Hirsch in the weekly procedural Numb3rs (2005), a detective program about a brilliant mathematician (David_Krumholtz) who helps the feds solve baffling crimes. Ballard also appeared in bit roles in the big-screen films Deep Impact (1998) and Men of Honor (2000). ~Nathan Southern
