Your TOP 3 african american actor OT?

1.Tyrese Gibson

2. Ice Cube

3. Cedric the entertainer.

Well?

Denzel Washington

Angela Bassett

Forest Whitaker

My favourite is Denzel Washington, even when he's in schlock' like The EqualiZer he just makes it classy. He's much better at the "Death Wish" thing than Neeson-San or Keanu Reeves. I hope they keep making this crap. 3-4-5, Equalizer: The Last Knight etc...

Other two, Carl Weathers (basically Apollo). He's not the best actor but he's great in that role, as well as Predator.

And then I guess Morgan God Freeman. Although he's in a lot of shit now and slowly turning into a black Bruce Willis. Dude should just retire and present tv-shows until he's dead.

In this very order:

1. Idris Elba-He's been in alot of good quality movies over the past years and hope he stays away from Tyler Perry films, he's just too good for Perry.
2. Morgan Freeman-Come on, it's Morgan for Christ sakes.
3. Will Smith-He still got his A game and looking forward to his latest film this October. (Still watch Fresh Prince of Bel-air)

• Samuel L Jackson
• Denzel Washington
• Laurence Fishburne

I came in here just to see if someone would mention Englishman Idris Elba. Too funny.

James Earl Jones

Denzel Washington

Sam Jackson

Have to give Terry Crews a nod. He doesn't make my top 3 because his acting chops are nowhere near these guys but I can't think of a single role of his I didn't love.

Denzel Washington is one of my favorite actors, period.

Out of Time and Flight are two of my favorite performances by him.

***

Lawrence Fishburne is an under appreciated actor imo

Damn, I knew I was forgetting someone. Laurence Fishburne.

Only movie I can think of was White Chicks and Terry Crews in it carried the film which was the only time he was good in that movie. I also like Crews in Everybody Hates Chris.

I'm more surprise I'm the only one who even mention his name and he's been getting more popular roles.

Motha... (Wait I can't finish that) this.

@davillain-:

Hes not American.

Ha.

In general I hate when British people are forced to do American accents when the plot doesn't really require it.

@davillain-: Don't forget Damon in Friday After Next and his best role, President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho in Idiocracy. If you haven't seen it, you are missing out.

I know....but he's the only Black actor I personally like the most :)

@davillain-:

Hes alright. Pretty good. In that case, Djimon Hounsou.

He's great, it's a shame he's mostly relegated to very side roles or b-movies.

Really good in Conan spouting his communism filth.

1. Denzel Washington

2. Morgan Freeman

3. Samuel L. Jackson

Also really like Sidney Poitier

Forest Whitaker

Mahershala Ali

Morgan Freeman

Current/All-Time:

1 - Samuel L. Jackson (body of work speaks for itself)

2 - Terry Crews (go watch his GQ video and tell me he shouldn't be #2)

3 - Djimon Hounsou (prior to today, I wouldn't have added, but needed someone current who I liked long ago as well )

Bonus:

Childhood Top: Wesley Snipes, Ice, Carl Weathers, Eddie Murphy and Chris Rock etc.

Newer favorites: Thandie Newton, Angela Bassett and Michael B. Jordan

Non-Actor Actor: Kareem, Shaq and Michael Jackson

Voices: James Earl Jones, Cree Summers and Aisha Tyler

TV: Whoopi, Donald Glover and Dave Chappelle

Denzel Washington

Idris Elba

Morgan Freeman

No particular order.......

@uninspiredcup: He has been very active in theater up to 2016. Seems to do a lot of voice work still too. Probably at that age where the travel and living on location just isn't that appealing anymore. I'm sure he still gets plenty of roles offered.

Top that I'm a fan of;

1. Denzel Wshington

2. Laurence Fishborn

3. Viola Davis

4. Terrence Howard

5. Charles Dutton

6. Wesley Snipes

7. Halle Berry

8. Samuel Jackson

9. Michael Ealy

Denzel Washington.

He's not my favourite actor of all time, though. No. My favourite actor of all time is Mr Sidney Poitier.

Morgan Freeman

Will Smith

Jamie Foxx

Samuel L Jackson
Terry Crews
Ice-Cube
Michael Jai White

1. Samuel L Jackson
2. Morgan Freeman
3. Will Smith

Michael Jai White doesn't get the respect he deserves. He has pretty good range.
