Who is the best actor

[DrWahoo]

Hey ladies, just wondering who you think is the best actor on this list. My sister and I had a debate about it. She loves Denzel, but I tend think he sort of is the same guy for every character, except in Training Day which made him a non-believable ganster.

Haha, I had to IMDB Underwood, clearly I don't watch enough TV.

Freeman kicked ass in March of the Penguins.

I love Morgan Freeman. His voice just gets me. I'd say his role in Seven was my favorite.

Re: Who is the best actor

Laurence Fishborne is exceptionally talented.

Here are a few of my favorites he's in:

• The Matrix Revolutions (2003) .... Morpheus
  Mystic River (2003) .... Sgt. Whitey PowersEnter the Matrix (2003) (VG) .... Morpheus
  The Matrix Reloaded (2003) .... Morpheus
  The Matrix (1999) .... Morpheus
  Othello (1995) .... Othello
  The Tuskegee Airmen (1995) (TV) .... Hannibal Lee
  Searching for Bobby Fischer (1993) .... Vinnie
  What's Love Got to Do with It (1993) .... Ike Turner, Sr.
  Boyz n the Hood (1991) (as Larry Fishburne) .... Jason 'Furious' Styles

When he's up against Morgan Freeman however, there is no contest. Morgan has commercial appeal AND he's amazing in every part.

Denzel is good. His shining moments were "Glory" and "Malcom X" in my opinion. He's a star...too commercial if you will.

Re: Who is the best actor

I think it's a good poll, only a few to choose from. If we started adding in all the yummy treats, it could get dicey. As it is, I think Taye Diggs, of the above, has the hot factor down. Morgan Freeman is the best actor. I loved him in the Shawshank Redemption, but who didn't? Such a great movie.

Re: Who is the best actor

Morgan Freeman hands down. I'm a voice person, and he's got a great one.

I think Jamie Foxx should be included in that list.

Re: Who is the best actor

I'm just curious - what was the topic of the debate? Which black guy is the best actor?? There are no actors of other ethnicities on that list! :huh:

I'm all about Morgan Freeman though. I LOVE him. Heidi - you're right about his voice.

Shhh...you're not supposed to notice! If you're really a hip color-blind person in the 21st century, you'll just pick one of these options and never even notice that they were pre-selected for their skin tone!

Yeah Jane, what's the matter with you? I didn't even notice until you mentioned it. Maybe you should spend more time in California. And that's chocolate to you.

Re: Who is the best actor

I picked Morgan Freeman because he is just a phenomenal actor period. Denzel Washington is great but Freeman is just better. Taye is coming into his own but not my favorite. Fishbourne is ok but I don't enjoy many of his movies. And I am not a big fan of Underwood, although he is quite nice on the eyes.
