Ving Rhames is an international movie star – best known for his roles in Pulp Fiction The Franchise Mission Impossible and countless others. But despite currently featured in the no. 1 film in the country, the actor is not immune from the current reality of racial profiling.

The 59-year-old actor talked about a scary and racist encounter with the police that occurred in his own home during a recent appearance on The Clay Cane Show on SiriusXM.

"I had a situation, I live in Brentwood, and I have another house in Santa Monica, California," recalls Rhames. "I am at home, it was about 2:15 in the afternoon, I have a mosquito net door at my place in Santa Monica, then I have a wooden door, I pbad the door of the screen, then the wooden door.I'm in the house … I hear noise in my yard, but I tell myself that you know, the puppies are just running or whatever that's it and then, I'm knocked on the front door.In fact, I was looking at ESPN, so I get up, and I'm literally in my basketball shorts, and so, I get up, I'm open the door, there is a red dot pointed at my face from a nine millimeter. "

Rhames said that after the police asked him to open his front door, with one hand, he came out with his hands in the air. According to his recollection, there was an officer "with a nine millimeter pointed at me", along with two other officers, the police captain and a police dog.

"I go out, they recognize me," he said. "The police captain … he recognized me because my son played against his school [kids’] … They recognize me, and the guy says it was a mistake they – Excuse me, what did you have – And then, I said, "Why are you doing this?" He said: "A woman m & # 39; 39 "called", that's literally what the policeman said: "A woman called 9-1-1, said that a fat black man was breaking into the house. "And they came."

The actor said that after the de-escalation of the incident, he and some officers went to the neighbor's house of D & D. Where the 9-1-1 call came from, although he said that "the person denied it."

"So I'm at home, alone in shorts basketball, just because someone calls and says that a big black man breaks in, when I opened the wooden door, a nine millimeter is pointed at me, "he added. "My problem is, I told them, and if it was my son, and he had, you know, a video game remote, or something, and you thought it was a gun, like … I do not know, Trayvon [Martin] had a bag of Skittles. "
