More comments about Will SmithHis my favorite actor and they way he talk and walk yeh "my man"
Mr. Washington's body of work speaks for itself, has paved the way for the next generation as did Mr. Poitier. The quality of product that he puts out. The countless times he was passed over for an Oscar. Jeffery Wright, James Earl Jones, Eddie Murphy, why are these name not mentioned when we are speaking of talent?
His character in Glory was one of the best performed roles I have seen in a movie. Great actor. While these others on the list are all exceptional, he is the cream of the crop.
More comments about Denzel WashingtonMorgan Freeman is not only the best black actor but also the best actor in hollywood. Take a look at his resume-The Shawshank Redemption, Bruce Almighty, Million Dollar Baby, The Dark Knight etc..
First let me start by asking how the hell did Cuba Gooding Jr. get in the top ten of this list? And also Morgan Freeman is the #1 reason why I can believe God is black. ;)
Morgan Freeman is by far the greatest person on earth, hands down.
More comments about Morgan FreemanGreat actor. Love him in Devil in a Blue dress and he should have won and award for his roll in Rawanda.
Great actor. He plays diverse roles. He is one of those actors that one would watch a movie just because he's in it.
Voting for him because Shaun Mixon, Jeffery Wright, and John G. Smith were excluded. But Shaun Mixon would be my top pick. He's top notch, handsome action star from Champion Road: Arena the movie, and also Touye Pwen the series.

How hard he must have worked to be the ground-breaking non-token black actor. RESPECT
Best black actor of all time. Super in guess who's coming to dinner, 1967.
I don't know a lot about Sidney as a person, but after watching some great black actors and some FANTASIC films he was in a time when things was not so easy. He was one of those on the stepping stone of life pathed the way for others be you colour or working class, or white or any colour
he give you massive inspiration 2nd barr none respect
He's just an amazing actor - after Vantage Point, Last King of Scotland, the Colour of Money... he is undoubtedly one of the best actors out there!
This is one of the most under rated actors in the world. He can really get into a role. I would like to see him picked to play a top role in a movie. He can bring it.
He doesn't get the attention he should. He is a great actor. Mr. Whitaker is right up there with Morgon Freeman & Denzel Washinton.
Great guy, I hope he continues to be blessed and successful in all his endeavors. I love everything about this man.
I love everything he play in and he could play different characters, not the same ol thing all the time.
Everybody should know that he is a very good actor, he deserves stay in this list :D
+1After seing Mr. fishburne in the play of Thourgood Marshall I don't know if Denzel or anyone in this top 10 can do better!

great funny actor, all the movies he did are funny and serious at the same time I like him so much but he better play again with will smith
He makes you believe in his character. He is intellegent as well as handsome. However his heart is in his acting look at the movie August Rush. What a movie.
Who is Mario Van Peeble anyway? Makes so sense why he is above such a dynamic actor. I have never even heard of him.
Definitely belongs on this list. Awesome job in August Rush and a great job in Iron Man. A truly profound actor.
