Growing up Denzel was considered the Goat, how old were you when you realized Jamie Foxx & Samuel L Jackson were better actors.

What does Will lack as an actor that Jamie /Denzel have?
Will cannot play a villain or morally dark character. He's admitted he has a hero complex from his views on his father and it's super obvious in his filmography.

Jamie “Get Your Hands Off My Jordans” Fox

Ray got you gassed?
Fox as X?
Fox as John Q?
Fox in Flight?

Hehehehehe

Jamie is a class clown so he's hard to take serious at times but, he's actually a very good actor.

Jamie could've played all of those characters. Especially Flight & John Q. X would be difficult. He could do it but, not as good as Denzel.

I don't know if Denzel could play all of Jamie's roles.

NY all day..Da Stead & BK..
Have you ever seen Glory? Young Denzel would have bodied that role.

Jamie Foxx has range but he is not better than the current top 3
In no order:
Denzel
Samuel L Jackson
Jeffrey Wright

Jamie is in the next tier with Will Smith, Terrance Howard, Larenz Tate, Chadwick Bozeman (RIP), and a couple of others.
Morgan Freeman as well. But honestly. As far as pure skill. Jeffrey Wright is better than all of em named.

Denzel is the best leading man.

Sam has the most range.

Jamie is the most comedic.

I can't see Denzel or Jamie playing this character


Jamie could absolutely play that character...his comedic background is why he doesn't get taken serious enough in the first place.

It's unlikely because Jamie has yet to embrace/lean into his age.

Why does someone always have to be better? They are all great in their own right.
yeah the title is kinda flagrant. sam jackson is awesome, but he always is

but we are talking about denzel. sam is not better than denzel lol only because denzel hasnt been pigeonholed as much

now if you said laurence fishburne vs denzel you'd have a serious debate :patrice:
