So, are we in agreement that Wesley Snipes is the GOAT black actor?

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
Not even top 10 :childplease:

1) Denzel
2) Sydney
3) Will
4) Morgan Freeman
5) Forrest Whitaker
6) Laurence FIshburne
7) Samuel
8) James Earl Jones
9) Louis Gossett
10) Danny Glover

Wesley never played a role better then any of those guys
nikka did you just put will fukking smith above Morgan freeman the gawd!!! Above Forrest Whitaker.

These are oscar winning actors doing this for 30-40-50 years bro. ICONIC roles. Not just popular with people under 40

What kind of movies are y'all watching out here??

The amount of disrespect Wesley is getting in this thread is disgusting. Cornballs nominating supporting actors over him :WHAT!:, Snipes was a leading man! and action star! with range!, but apparently isn't top 10

Surprised Nobody mentioned the real goat black actor yet.. Eddie murphy. He got more classics than anyone mentioned so far. I got snipes in my top 5 though. But Denzel got him beat.

If it wasn't for the tax stuff and his career going way the fukk downhill, i think people in this thread might not be shytting on him as much. Even though it will be a small role, his character is the one i'm most interested to see in that new Expendables movie.

My list is more then just acting ability. Its about name, marketabilty, etc. Smith has that. Not many black actors can play lead and be successful at the box office. Not many black actors can carry franchises. Will can. When Will smiths name is attached to a project, ppl are going to the theartres to see it. Guys like Freeman, Whittaker, etc may technically be better actors. But they don't have Smith's other characteristics. And like I said hes not a bad actor in the least. nikkas in here acting like Will is on Ice T, LL Cool J level. Plus hes a versatile actor. I don't see Freeman at any point in his career doing Ali, POH then switching it up to do Hancock or Bad Boys. And this is coming from someone who thinks Will is a fakkit whos doing a horrible job raising kids

And lets get this out the way. New Jack City is an overrated movie that has aged horribly. It does not compare to the hood movies of BITH, Menace, etc. Its kind of like the dikk Tracy of hood movies. And I mean that literally with its over the top wardrobe, set designs, plots, dialouge(sit yo five dollar bill ass down before I make change :childplease: ) Blade was decent in the first movie but went completely to shyt. Then the rest of Snipes filmography is generic, over the top 90s action flicks that no one would bother mentioning today. To say he is the GOAT is fukking laughable
