Vote for Denzel Washington 2) Denzel Washington

Will Smith is great, but I’m not sure he’s the best yet. Hard to top Denzel. Here’s my list:
1. Denzel Washington
2. Sidney Poitier
3. Morgan Freeman/Will Smith
5. Samuel L. Jackson
6. Cuba Gooding Jr. (who got snubbed on this list)
7. Don Cheadle (great actor, but needs to do more)
8. Forest Whitaker
9. Laurenece Fishburne
10. Terrence Howard

ok. this is so tough choices 1, 2, 3 are so close so great so powerful and I think id have to be
1. denzel
2. morgan
3. will
but the only reason is because will has not reached his full potental he’s great but denzel has been around way longer and has far more powerful roles

The Great Debaters, American Gangster, Deja Vu, Inside Man, The Manchurian Candidate, Man on Fire, Out of Time, Antwone Fisher, John Q, Training Day, Remember the Titans, The Hurricane, The Bone Collector, The Siege, He Got Game, Fallen , The Preacher’s Wife, Courage Under Fire, Devil in a Blue Dress, Crimson Tide, Philadelphia, The Pelican Brief, even Much Ado About Nothing, the best i think - Malcolm X, Ricochet, Mo’ Better Blues, Glory, The Mighty Quinn.... plus some others which i haven’t watched, each performance just as awesome i would expect.

Dig this, the man is on a whole different level from these guys or any other actor hands down!
