Really? I've only seen him in Ballers but that's no acting master class. Did you see him in Malcolm and Marie or blackkk klansmen or tenet?John David Washington is literally one of the WORST actors in Hollywood at the moment bar none
Daniel Kaluuya's accent in this Fred Hampton movie bothers me...

Yeah, anyone who posts something and then sees "Swagnificent and CHICAGO dapped this" really need to question themselves.
Swag says it's okay for White women to say n----- but thinks it disrespectful for Black British actors to play Americans.
Take people who willfully name themselves @Swagnificent and say the marsupial above is the baddest bytch in Hollywood seriously folks

Ive said it before and I’ll say it again
He’s literally thinking as he’s performing. There is no fluidity with him. He doesn’t blend into the story. He makes everyone around him look like HOFs. He’s rigid in anything else outside of Ballers but he didn’t have to do much in Ballers. He reminds of Halle in Monster’s Ball or Sofia Coppola in GF3
In Daniel's defense (I wanted an ADOS actor at first, but I thought he did a good job in the movie), some brothers and sisters in the 60's & 70's (like Chairman Fred) had a certain rhythm in their speech that has sadly been lost over time. When cats spoke, you could hear the soul in their words.
Exhibit A:
Young people today are cut from a different cloth and don't have the same soul that our old heads had. It would probably be very difficult for any actor younger than 40 to accurately portray the way a true soul brother or soul sister would've spoken.

did you never see the new Blade Runner movie?You keep posting this one pic. Ana De Armas is the baddest bytch in Hollywood right now. Her beauty is incomprable. You might need to see her in motion before dismissing her.

That bytch look like a character called Scat The Rat
And FYI my screen name is a play on a character from the classic pro black cartoon The Boondocks. If you were black you would know exactly where it from. Alas you cacs prolly think I just took the word Swag and mixed with Magnificent for no reason.
I got a screen name on another site that is called VanS. Cacs won't see who my name is paying homage to. But any conscious black man would see its a ode to the great black historian Ivan Van Sertima.
