Official Black Actor Appreciation Thread

[The Sage]

Self-explanatory. Post pictures and talk about your favorite black actors, whether they're Black American, African American, British or whatnot.

My boys:

Don Cheadle:


Truly an underrated actor and very gifted. He's awesome. I loved his performances in Hotel Rwanda and Crash. I hope he continues getting great roles.

Terrence Howard:


A rising star and IMO, someone who could be the future Denzel. This guy got an Academy Award nomination for playing a pimp! Not to mention he did very well in Crash.


Denzel Washington:


Pretty much the Ric Flair/Kurt Angle of Hollywood. I have yet to see a bad Denzel Washington performance, despite who he works with or the quality of the script. Everytime a movie comes out with him headlining, it feels automatic that I have to see it.

Uh, this seems a little discriminatory of you ask me. It wouldn't be cool to have an "Official White Actor Appreciation Thread", nor do I think it's right to do this sort of thing with any other race.

Jack Black

Sorry, that's not what I was aiming to do.

It's ok man, just never do it again!

 

[Goddessreicho]

I'm a slight feminist at heart, so i was wonderin, are black actresses allowed?

 

[The Kid]

No love for michael Clarke Duncan? AKA: The Kingpin

And I don't care if he's not black. My favorite actor forever in life will be Mark Hamill. Long live the Hammy.

I think Samuel L. has been riding the pulp fiction gravy train for way too long, he needs to stops making movies simply for the paycheck. Morgan Freeman is one hella great actor...*waiting for someone to call him overrated*

Taye Diggs... The Best Man...love that film.

 

[Bat Attack]

I love Morgan Freeman, I can't wait to see some of his upcoming films.

Im mad that he keeps taking these crap roles especially since with films like Pulp Fiction and A Time to Kill under his belt I know he has so much potential. Have you seen Sam in The Long Kiss Goodnight?

Morgan Freeman is an acting God. IMHO

[PowersOfMind]

Ok. Well, if it makes any difference, Morgan Freeman is one of my fav actors of all time. I'm trying to nail my impression of him, which I'm getting close. I also think Cheadle is tops, if he could only be in more movies where he gets to show off his talent (like Hotel Rwanda).

 

[PowersOfMind]

Nia Long, Gina Torres, Thandie Newton, Theresa Randle.

 

[Obsidian]

Chiwetel Ejiofor
