Rosario Dawson...I loved her as Gale in Sin City.

I thought she was Latina?

"Latina" or any of it's derivations/synonyms aren't considered a "race". Latins or hispanics are just a population of people who belong to various different races and ethnicities including black and white.

Anyway the most entertaining actor ever of any race is clearly he who is bad as can.

 

[Venom]

Keith David

He possesses one of the coolest voices in movie history.

He knows he's the best.

Forest Whitaker has so much depth as an actor. The vastly different roles he has worked over his career amayzes me. Noteable films:Species,Jasons Lyric, The Crying game, Panic Room, Phone BoothPlatoon, Ghost dog, Last king of scottland. I mean I can go on for days this guys resume is freaking awesome

[RogueDK]

My favourites would be Samuel L. Jackson, Morgan Freeman and Keith David.

Besides Kevin Conroy, probably the best sounding voice actor out there for animated material.

 

[TNC9852002]

Yeah, race doesn't really mean anything. It's just an arbitrary way of putting people in categories for social segregation.
