1, 2, 6 20.

I don't think I've ever seen a film with Forest Whitaker and thought "that was a good movie" or "he's a pretty good actor." He's like Chiwetel, he has no presence or range. I don't even see why he gets casted.

They underrate him..just watch him portrayed Idi Amin. He bailed it in the Last king of Scotland I think.

He's not that bad but he's one dimensional.Another is Morgan Freeman - Great but seems to be playing one role in every movie.

One dimensional as in family comedy sort of genre? Personally I'm not into black American movies but I'll watch Will Smith and Tyler Perry movies for sure.

You've already placed him at No. 1.
Secondly, that mother4kin No. 6
Thirdly, much muscles from eba placed him at 10
lastly, his eyes makes him look witty at No. 20.

Exactly. Denzel is my number one even if you include white actors. tongue

Denzel Washington for me,dude kills every role he plays.He was a beast in Training Day


I just don't know what Ice Cube is doing on this list though.

Not just Ice Cube but many others as well. In fcat, please remove Denzel from that list and place him where he truly belongs AMONG THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME (including all races!)

I guess out of sight, out of mind. But the OP did say 'greatest of all time' so he should have dug deeper than what's on the surface or current.

Love them all apart from Steve Harvey and Terry Crews, but I hear Crews is a very nice and kind-hearted fella. undecided
However Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, Will Smith, Idris Elba and Terrence Howard are my all time favourites.

The poster said Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) isn't black because he's biracial and I agree.
Actually if you are bi-racial/half black, you are grouped as black.

Cuba don't belong on that list because he sucks.
Tyler don't belong because he sucks
Idris is a great actor but he's British not American.
LL Cool J suck as an actor but he's a great rapper.
Steve Harvey suck as an actor and comedian.

Denzel is number 1.

Everyone else on the list are cool.

LL Cool J isn't a fantastic actor, but I do love him in NCIS.

I didn't say they weren't grouped as black I even explained why they are grouped that way, I said they aren't black.
