Who are your five favorite black actors?

[Welter_Skelter]

You mean there are OTHER Black Actors beyond Samuel Jackson????

[El Jesus]

anyone who says Will Smith is an arse, how can somebody with no talent get so far, unbelieveable

will smith isnt talentless at all, he is charismatic and the roles hes in tend to standout when hes in the lead. hes never in anything really bad except wild wild west and that wasnt really his fault. dude is funny without overdoing it, he comes across in a genuine manner than spans a wide audience, he isnt talentless at all.

He's good in the Bad Boys films and Enemy of the state. Nost as good as some people make out though.

Opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one, I just don't rate Will Smith, to me he has no talent, over the top and thinks he is funny, but It's just my thoughts

[Panamaniac]

Sidney Poitier has to be the # 1 without him no other black actor would have got as far because he paved the way

I think Sidney Poitier is a great actor in his own right regardless of his race. But to qualify him as the best blacktor BECAUSE he paved the way is like saying Jackie Robinson is the best black baseball player because he paved the way.
