Denzel's son played in the NFL for a minute, if I remember :ehh:

But I dunno. Fish loses points for that fukked up accent he had in "Higher Learning".

"Meester Weelyams, Meester Weelyams, plees" :snoop:

Did either of them have a prominent role in a comedy before? I can't call anyone a great actor unless they've done so :yeshrug:



:russ: It's too early for stuff like this, but Denzel gets my vote, both great actors, who do you guys think was the better Harlem Gangster? :myman: as Frank Lucas or Fishburne as Bumpy Johnson?

Tough call there. Let me add to it though:

Better crooked cop: Denzel in Training Day or Larry in Deep Cover. Yes i know, Larry didnt start crooked but did fall down that path.

If we're just talking black actors, don't sleep on Forest Whitaker either.

Overall, Denzel is my fave, but I definitely fukks with Whitaker/Cheadle/Fishburne/etc.

My boy & I were watching this recently and for whatever reason, we died laughing at 1:53-2:02. Ended up rewinding that shyt a few times b/c my boy swore Fish was blowing trees in that pipe. :smoker:

Though im a fan of Fishburne's work, i can't say that he's better than Denzel though. But he did get jerked out of he Oscar for his potrayal of Ike Turner. He absolutetly had you thinking he was actually the real Ike.
