October 22, 201412 yr Denzel Washington Samuel Jackson Will Smith Don Cheadle I'm only 40 years old so Sidney Poitier deosn't do it for me. I could not care less about him or any of his movies. :no:
October 22, 201412 yr This lady HAS to be in the top 4...after all she made it to The Andy Griffith Show! That's the rarest of feats!

October 22, 201412 yr You usually make sense, but this............:ohbrother: I couldn't name one movie he is in. Never seen a single one.
October 22, 201412 yr Denzel Morgan Freeman Will Smith They are locks. The 4th spot is debatable. I'm not sold on Morgan as a lock but I get why he is mentioned and seen as a lock.
October 22, 201412 yr Like the other music thread, is this your favorite black actors or who is truly recognized as one of the great black actors? The debate begins after Poitier and Washington.
October 23, 201412 yr Sidney Portier - his is acting's equivalent of Jackie Robinson Denzel Washington - one of the best actors ever - black, white, pink, or purple. Spike Lee - more for production and directing but can't make a Rushmore without him Those three are musts. The 4th is debatable. Morgan Freeman - I just like him better than the rest.
October 23, 201412 yr I couldn't name one movie he is in. Never seen a single one. "They call me Mr. Tibbs" [video=youtube_share;r0hytuh6GIk]http://youtu.be/r0hytuh6GIk
October 23, 201412 yr I couldn't name one movie he is in. Never seen a single one. In The Heat Of The Night was the first of his films that I saw. The Jackal (with Bruce Willis & Richard Gere) was his final appearance in a major film. I think those are the only 2 I've seen of his.
October 23, 201412 yr No debating Sidney P, Denzel W, Morgan F, James Earl J, or many of the others mentioned here for sure, but the likes of Cab Calloway, Sammy Davis Jr., Bill Cosby, Redd Foxx, Sherman Hemsley, John Amos, and Billy Dee Williams are more than worthy of at least an honorable mention in here somewhere. Cab made many of his movie appearances more as a band leader, but he did play some other acting roles as well, not to mention just being the pioneer for the black male that he was. The others I mentioned too played pioneering roles as well worth noting.
October 23, 201412 yr Guess Who's Coming to Dinner To Sir With Love Heat Of the Night They Call Me Me Tibbs I liked him in Buck and the Preacher and also Sneakers.
October 23, 201412 yr Like the other music thread, is this your favorite black actors or who is truly recognized as one of the great black actors? The debate begins after Poitier and Washington. My favorite black actors. I can't speak about what I don't know or haven't seen.
October 23, 201412 yr Shoot I just did a search. I forgot all about Lilies of the Field and A Raisin in the Sun.
October 23, 201412 yr I'm like PP, I have to go with what I know. It starts with Denzel. Hell for me the Mt Rushmore of acting starts with Denzel. There is no better in my mind. Ill have to think about the other 3.
