I'll give him Malcolm X (he.should have won the Oscar over weak ass 'Scent of a Woman') and Training Day, but you may be onto something.


And that's taking nothing away from Denzel as an actor, because he's incredibly entertaining onscreen. But you know what you're getting going into it :yeshrug:

ill give him malcolm x, training day and glory. but besides those, he always just play the same characters in different situations.

Actors who basically play themselves in every movie...

Samuel L. Jackson (save for Django and The Sunset Limited. )
Robert DeNiro
Christopher Walken
Al Pacino
Jonah Hill
Will Ferrell
Morgan Freeman


These are some of my favorites actors, but :comeon:

Do you know what the term range means when it comes to acting?

Maybe you can show me this range he's shown in his career...maybe I was wrong :leon:

After Pulp Fiction is when he became typecast as "Loud angry black man".

Check out films like:

The Red Violin
Assault at Westpoint
Jungle Fever
One Eight Seven

Sammuel L Jackson is a legit actor, he just rarely does quality films to show of his acting chops these days.

If you think Robert Denrio doesn't have range and you can't think of or find any evidence to the contrary then you're just fukking lazy.

SMH at Sam, Deniro and Pacino not having range. I'd like to nominate Channing Tatum and Terrence Howard

Don't forget The Hurricane and The Preacher's wife.

His performance if Flight is already getting slept on it seems.

if you think De Niro got no range you need to see Awakenings, which came out the same year as Goodfellas.

you cant judge actors who's careers span decades based solely on the roles they play now.

denzel as a boxer

denzel as an angel

denzel as a pilot

:trash:

i like denzel cause he IS entertaining but i would like to see him be a different man altogether at some point. he has very little range if any at all.
