How 'bout Laurence Fishburne, Samuel L. Jackson, James Earl Jones, or Angela Bassett? And while I don't know if I'd put them on a "greatest" list, I usually enjoy Don Cheadle and Ving Rhames.
I had a mind fart on Jones and Jackson. They will be added. Thanks Jim.
Don Cheadle is definately on my list. Cuba Gooding Jr. definately not. Laurence Fishbourne deserves to be on the list. So does Cicely Tyson, Alfre Woodard and Ruby Dee. Tupac was surprisingly good, if not a great.
Now, where's the greatest white actors list? :-)
I like Don Cheadle and alot of the actresses you named. They are actresses though. I will make a great black actress list soon.
Interesting discussion on the terms "actor" and "actress" here. It starts at the sixth post.
Hey jblack, I was wondering what you would consider each actor's best role to be? Also, would there be any actors who were primarily TV actors (such as Bill Cosby) that you would rank high? Finally, how would comedic actors, such as Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy, rank in your list?
Just curious... :)
Well, I was admittingly going for more dramatic actors. Television actors I didn't think about either when making the list. That could probably be another list under the Televisin portion of Listology. Thanks for your input Buber.
