+++ | MARIAH INFORMATION: FILMOGRAPHY |
Although Mariah's name is not synonymous with the words acting or actress, she's slowly carving out her legacy. She's gravitated toward on-screen roles in film and television, however she's flirted with voice acting also. Over the course of her acting career, she's played several different types of characters, some of which include a pop superstar, an abused runaway, a social worker, a slave and she even voiced the character of a redneck in American Dad.
It seems that the public opinion is that her interest in acting is a development that began with Glitter, however she made her acting debut in The Bachelor and her involvement in the industry started even earlier. Mariah started developing the idea for Glitter, formerly referred to as All That Glitters, as early as 1997. Just a year later, Mariah was signed on to co-star with Chris Tucker in a movie titled Agent Double-O-Soul. She was incredibly excited about this venture, so much so that she left the Butterfly World Tour unfinished to pursue it, but unfortunately production never took off. Also in 1998, Mariah filmed a candid interview with Barbra Walters and confessed that her ex-husband, Tommy Mottola, had prevented her from taking roles that were offered to her because he thought that it would tarnish her career. Sadly for Mariah, these roles, she confirmed, gave other actresses their breakthroughs in the industry.
