Is it time that we give anthony mackie props?

[Un-AmericanDreamer]

Funny
Doesn't qoon
Natural charisma
Legit Action Hero (yeah he's kinda goofy but he can be pretty badass too)
Strong body of work (pain & gain, captain america, adjustment bureau, hurt locker, She hate me )


He's the new willliam smith. I know lots of people around here stan for Elba and Chiwetel, but I think Mackie is a really underrated actor. Maybe he needs to be the leading man of an oscar bait for people to take him more seriously as an actor.

 

[My Girl is Bow Legged]

Nah I can't forget that terrible tupac portrayal

He still Clarence to me

 

[Ain't That Something]

The nikka the go to CAC side kick don't you dare compare him to Big Will DA Gawd.

 

[-DMP-]

I liked him in that Justin Timberlake/Ben Affleck movie.

But he does seem to be the go to blk guy side kick now adays.

Gangster Squad


Never forget

I like him but he needs to start making the transition to leading man roles to be compared to Will Smith. Elba and Chiwitel have that over him for now.

She Hate Me is the only movie i remember him being the clear lead of a film. Everything were just good to solid supporting characters.

 

[King Koopa]

Dude had me rolling in "Pain and Gain".

I give dude his props. Sure he's had his suspect rolls, but who hasn't. Especially seeing the rolls dude started with. Dude is finally getting some recognition

Yeah, but those dudes also had early success outside the big screen, which gave them an easier transition with bigger lead roles. Not to mention those dudes are on a whole other level. Mackie is on his way IMO, but it better be soon. Dude ain't getting any younger lol.

Not until he stops being sidekick status, but he has talent though

 

[Ricky Church]

he's aight.

 

[TheGodling]

Like some already said, he needs to transition to leading roles. I'm confident that if he can steal one leading role away from all those generic twenty-something white males that Hollywood has been trying to put on for the past five years, his star will rise really fast.

It's hard out here for black actors

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

He basically is where I thought Derek Luke would be at this point in their careers.

 

[TheGodling]

He's actually got two upcoming movies that look pretty interesting. One where he'll star opposite Jennifer Connelly as two homeless people who fall in love with each other, written and directed by Connelly's actor husband Paul Bettany, who at one point in his life was homeless himself. Then there's Triple Nine, directed by John Hillcoat (The Proposition, The Road & Lawless) which is an ensemble heist flick also starring Aaron Paul, Norman Reedus, Kate Winslet, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Woody Harrelson, Casey Affleck, Michael Pena and Gal Gadot.
