My List of the Greatest Actors and Actress of all time Damon Wayans Shawn Wayans Marlon Wayans Gia Carides, Patrick Swayze Ben Stiller Bill Paxton Cary Elwes The Rock All the actors mentioned above can wipe and I mean WIIIIIIPE the floor with actors like Sidney Portier Daniel Day Lewis Robert DeNiro Al Pacino Cate Blanchett Meryl Streep Kate Winslet Susan Sarandon. These actors have a lot, a whole lot to learn from the actors on the first list. Why. . . I can just see Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino tripping over each other trying to be the first to bask in the greatness that is The Rock. Daniel Day Lewis can learn facial comedy from the Wayans Brothers. Cate Blanchett and Kate Winslet will be lucky to have Gia Carides teach them a thing or two. Yep, Box Office Record sure is a good way to measure how great an actor is. |

SEAN PENN AND JACK NICHOLSON ARE THE GREATEST ACTORS OF OUR TIME. while the great legendary MERRYL STREEP IS THE GREATEST ACTRESS IN OUR OWN ERA. |

link=topic=151120.msg2512180#msg2512180 date=1216171921: Hey SeanT21, How are ya? Good ? Ah Splendid. So Newsflash. . . the WORLD isn’t YOU. Just because Hotel Rwanda is the only Don Cheadle Movie you know does not mean the rest of us didn't know others. |

davidif: But. . . but. . . what about Regina King, Gabrielle Union, Jessica Alba, Katherine Heigl? Their movies killed at the box office, surely that puts them in the same league as Meryl Streep. |

@Topic, i like both of them Denzel tends towards the serious. Will tends towards the comic. i think they r both OK |
Re: Who Is The Better Actor? Will Smith Or Denzel Washington by thando(f): 5:02pm On Jul 16, 2008 |
will smiths acting is just as good as his rhyming. talking of hotel rwanda great movie but they really messed up when they got SA actors who were speaking zulu in the film.i find that very Disrespectfull and that was not the first time.big time american film makers should do proper research on the culture of the ppl first b4 shooting of the movie.imagine watching a movie set in Liberia and finding all the natives speaking yoruba. pleeez |

@saintkola I prefer Will Smith like it or not @KarmaMod You are smoking way too much Reggie Miller for your own good and they are affecting your brain cells.Besides who told you Ice Cube isnt a good actor? then you went ahead to diss Cuba Gooding Jr mention Adam Sandler as a box office hit next thing we know you would compare Saheed Balogun to Bruce Wilis @Gamine Please watch some of Will Smith's recent movies there's absolutely nothing funny about them |
Re: Who Is The Better Actor? Will Smith Or Denzel Washington by Gamine(f): 5:37pm On Jul 16, 2008 |
I havent watched hancock, but i hear its quite funny. Will smith, yes i loved him in pursuit of happyness and I am Legend. but where hv u seen Denzel acting anything comic |
Re: Who Is The Better Actor? Will Smith Or Denzel Washington by KarmaMod(f): 5:54pm On Jul 16, 2008 |
Lmao SisiKill you are ridiculous Love the cut of your jib But you really should remove Billy Paxton from that crew of FLUNKIES. He's actually pretty good. A-40, please dont even bother me anymore. When it come sto the art of Film, you are not the one I'd discuss with. No offence. |
Re: Who Is The Better Actor? Will Smith Or Denzel Washington by A40(m): 6:18pm On Jul 16, 2008 |
KarmaMod:Bother you? Who cares or where did i beg you to discuss anything Orishirishi!! You are the one that started something besides i dont remember typing Karma Mod when i opened this thread i had to put you in your place when you started talking smack @Gamine That brother needs to lighten up he takes things too seriously besides he only does serious stuff for a reason imagine Denzel acting something comic that film would be so unwatchable |

whatever that means |
Re: Who Is The Better Actor? Will Smith Or Denzel Washington by SeanT21(f): 12:03am On Jul 17, 2008 |
Sisikill: How many times should i try to explain this. I know it is not the only movie he starred in. it is however the only movie that People recognize him from. Many people didn'tven know he existed until "Rwanda" came out. When You ask people about him the first thing that comes to mind is "HOTEL RWANDA". |
Re: Who Is The Better Actor? Will Smith Or Denzel Washington by CH3COO(m): 12:05am On Jul 17, 2008 |
SeanT21:apparently not. since these sample people have seen him in many others movies and are now correcting you. |
Re: Who Is The Better Actor? Will Smith Or Denzel Washington by iice(f): 2:12am On Jul 17, 2008 |
SeanT21: Blockbuster people you mean |
Re: Who Is The Better Actor? Will Smith Or Denzel Washington by tng(f): 12:41pm On Jul 17, 2008 |
I agree that denzel is stereotyped but he is still a better actor than will |
Re: Who Is The Better Actor? Will Smith Or Denzel Washington by Gamine(f): 1:45pm On Jul 17, 2008 |
We all agree to that. |
Re: Who Is The Better Actor? Will Smith Or Denzel Washington by Sisikill: 3:32pm On Jul 17, 2008 |
KarmaMod: This reminded of an article I read when Will Smith was promoting I am Legend, I scoured the net all day yesterday. . . okay, that makes me sound like a jobless person. The truth is I was thinking of scouring the net yesterday but didn’t actually start scouring until this morning. . . yes, yes, that’s it. Anyhoo, back to the blockbuster debate, it is one thing to be so good, your movies become blockbusters, it quite another to strategically go for blockbusters. For Willy boy, it’s not about the art, nah. . . it’s about the money, money, money and stardom. Don’t get me wrong, I like that he is not apologetic about where his head is at. . . in fact, I admire him for his honesty. Nothing irks me more than a silly fame hungry wannabe actor, in dirty jeans, looking unwashed because he thinks it makes him more artsy, talking about being in it for “the craft”. I’m like. . . Give me a freaking break, I can see the dollar signs where your pupils are supposed to be Kato, Jeez. So yeah, Will Smith’s candor about what he is really about, is a breath of fresh air. From the horse’s mouth (and no, that wasn’t a dig at his long ears, I promise you) KW: Did you feel that it was financially risky to release a big-budgeted, CGI creature feature at Christmas time? And after I am Legend, he did HANCRAP. . . another CGI movie. Just for good measures. . . Will Smith Plays It Safe Mr Will Smith goes to Washington So you see. . . Will Smith Defenders, when people say he’s just a movie star, they aren’t putting him down, they are calling the name he strove for. This is also why he can and should never ever be compared to the GREAT MR. DENZEL WASHINGTON!!! Thank You. |
Re: Who Is The Better Actor? Will Smith Or Denzel Washington by KarmaMod(f): 3:36pm On Jul 17, 2008 |
Actor Will Smith fancies a sure thing. He steers clear of films that are not big-budget blockbusters, as he is dubious of the chances such films have of succeeding financially Yep. Not sure why people run around trying to compare him tpo Great actors. He just happens to throw himself in movies that were gonna be big based on their "action packed" plots in the first place. |
Re: Who Is The Better Actor? Will Smith Or Denzel Washington by A40(m): 4:04pm On Jul 17, 2008 |
KarmaMod:Pretender! you dont know what your favorite stuff is you must have a thing for 40 boy as thats the only way i can explain your stalking me from thread to thread What does his looking for block buster films have to do with the fact that he is a great actor he is versatile and doesnt put himself in a box like Denzel does but like i said we all have a right to our opinions and contrary to general opinion i prefer Will |
Re: Who Is The Better Actor? Will Smith Or Denzel Washington by Sisikill: 6:08pm On Jul 17, 2008 |
Can you seriously picture WS playing a baddie? Nope, because it is the anti-thesis of the persona he has cultivated. . . the good guy. When your real life personality prevents you from giving yourself to the art. . . you ain't no actor in my book. |
Re: Who Is The Better Actor? Will Smith Or Denzel Washington by Gamine(f): 6:11pm On Jul 17, 2008 |
I guess |
Re: Who Is The Better Actor? Will Smith Or Denzel Washington by savanaha: 6:13pm On Jul 17, 2008 |
Sisikill: Isn't your anti-thesistic theory (nw) the same for DW or so people say. Even in his Training Day movie the media later chastized him for playing the bad guy with a good heart. I just feel that some people are cast into the same role even when they try to get out of it. Look at Eddie Murphy or Will Farrel or me. They try to be serious and most people don't get it because they are type cast. Thats just that. |
Re: Who Is The Better Actor? Will Smith Or Denzel Washington by CH3COO(m): 6:19pm On Jul 17, 2008 |
savanaha: true that. |
Re: Who Is The Better Actor? Will Smith Or Denzel Washington by Gamine(f): 6:21pm On Jul 17, 2008 |
i guess |
Re: Who Is The Better Actor? Will Smith Or Denzel Washington by CH3COO(m): 7:15pm On Jul 17, 2008 |
stop guessing. speak. |
Re: Who Is The Better Actor? Will Smith Or Denzel Washington by Gamine(f): 7:24pm On Jul 17, 2008 |
lol |
Re: Who Is The Better Actor? Will Smith Or Denzel Washington by Sisikill: 7:59pm On Jul 17, 2008 |
savanaha: Bless you!!! They TRY but WS doesn't and he is happy to tell you he is not a risk taker. For pete's sake, the guy has a strategy in place to ensure he does not mistakenly cross over to the dark side (again, I have no beef with that). For me, comparing him to Denzel Washington is like comparing a Monk to an Average Joe guy on the street who has chosen to be calibate. The latter is out there. . . facing temptation from every angle and overcoming it while the former locks himself away from society in a remote tower. I love this snippet from Wikipedia about Denzel Washington Malcolm X transformed Washington's career, turning him, practically overnight, into one of Hollywood's most respected actors. He turned down several similar roles, such as an offer to play Martin Luther King, Jr., because he wanted to avoid being typecast. The next year, in 1993, he took another risk in his career by playing Joe Miller, the homophobic lawyer of a homosexual man with AIDS in the movie Philadelphia starring Tom Hanks. Okay, okay I can't deny my bias is running amok on this thread. . . it's Denzel Washington! I love my Willy Nilly Smith too but again it's Denzel Washington!!! |
Re: Who Is The Better Actor? Will Smith Or Denzel Washington by CH3COO(m): 8:04pm On Jul 17, 2008 |
good heavens. don't you think your notion of monk and average joe is too far-fetched. |
