Karma, don't even bother lol. Most times they don't get it.

@Topic, Denzel is the actor, Will is the bank grin

But i love Don Cheadle. He has got to be the most underrated black actor ever!!! which is such a shame.

And SeanT, how any times do i need to tell you to stop spreading stuff you have no clue about.

Don cheadle:
hotel rwanda
rush hour 2
ocean's eleven

to name a few.
Re: Who Is The Better Actor? Will Smith Or Denzel Washington by onyinye2(f): 2:25am On Jul 16, 2008
Me personally i have to give it up to my man Denzel. He has movies of all backgrounds. From action to educational. but i know Will Smith will learn from Denzel's career and aspire his different movies roles.
Re: Who Is The Better Actor? Will Smith Or Denzel Washington by CH3COO(m): 2:29am On Jul 16, 2008
You have suggested two irrational and counter-logical reasons why will smith should follow in dw's path.
Is he not involved in action movies too? think i-robot and badboys. Educational. . . for one all movies are educational -- heh most movies -- and secondly pursuit of happyness anyone?

I was trying to make a point. The only main movie that  the world acknowledge him from is Hotel Rwanda.  He didn't even star in most of those movies U mentioned. It is not consider his movie.

Well your point didn't register and it was inaccurate.  But thanks for correcting it.

@CH3COO

oka then since you want to go there. Im just sayin that Will Smith just needs to widen his horizon. i mean im saying he is not an incredible actor, because he is, I'm saying that compared to Denzel, he just needs a little more time to get to the level of Denzel.
Re: Who Is The Better Actor? Will Smith Or Denzel Washington by CH3COO(m): 2:36am On Jul 16, 2008
By the way SeanT, reign over me and traitor, he's starred in them.

Hiss! I always go there. You really haven't provided an indestructible evidence why denzel washington's any better than will smith. yes, i agree and feel dw is a better actor than smith, but i have my preference and reasons for it. By widening his horizon, what does that mean? how is he not an incredible actor and what do you need to be considered an incredible actor? we have yet to define some guidelines here on nairaland for establishing who an "incredible actor" is. meanwhile, compared to your nollywood trash is will smith not fuming with excellence?

first of all it was a typo. i meant to say that Will Smith is an incredible actor. His movies are known worldwide and they are just amazing. But to compare to a legend like Denzel who as made movies such as

Training Day
Malcom X
The Preacher's Wife
Remember the Titans
Inside Man
Great Debaters
American Gangster
"Marcus Brutus" in Julius Caesar
Glory.

Will Smith is great but Denzel is a Legend

I know they wont get it. Sometimes I forget and actually argue about Film with people I really shouldnt even bother arguing with

I totally agree with you on Don. VERY good actor. I especially liked him in "The United States of Leland"

Before changing the subject, keep in mind that I was correcting the silly brain-farted you commited by saying cheadle has only acted in one movie.  That's number one.  Two, you changed that to "main star" and I corrected that again.


With that said, does it matter too much the gross amount? If great actors and actresses are to be measured by the amount grossed in the box office, then those actors and actresses in Titanic would dominate wouldn't they?  Aside from Jack (Leonardo Dicaprio), the others have been watered down and washed up.  But yeah that's besides the point.

All I'm trying to say is that DON CHEADLE ain't got nothin on Forrest!!

Box office numbers do not matter but it shows how much the world appreciate the movie and the actor. If it wasn't for Hotel Rwanda he would not be who he is today. Hotel Rwanda was the only movie that actually showed him to the world and it got him an Oscar. On the other hand, In all of forrest movies, HE KILLED IT!!

Exactly! So may people dont understand. They think 'oh been in a big blockbuster = best actor". That's NOT the case

Alot of GREAT actors are in independent movies or movies that dont even gross as much. They are picky with the scripts they choose. They choose to be in movies that represent their talent, not CGI action stuff. And Its like most people dont even know that the movie is usually a blockbuster cos of the plot or story and not just for the actors.

Personally alot of actors I respect and adore and find them utterly talented are hardly in "blockbuster movies", but hey that's me. Christian Bale is one of my favorite actors and he just started getting true recognition when they made him Batman whereas he has way better movies under his belt

yeah karma. a lot of people keep their work in the underground because they feel these box office actors and actresses are sell-outs and are motivated by money.

some people believe that if you're interested in great acting, visit a major play and watch their acting.
