Re: Freeman vs. Washington vs. Smith
I was gonna say Sidney Poitier but he's from the Bahamas.

Re: Freeman vs. Washington vs. Smith
Denzel at the top, but Morgan Freeman is also one of my favorites of all time.
Will Smith for me is great too in the sense of mastering the popcorn flick roles. Of course I also thought he was fantastic in Pursuit of Happyness and Seven Pounds. |

Where do you think the Bahamas are and how do you think his ancestors got there |

It's pretty clear the op is talking about African Americans meaning people from the United States of African descent, as that's traditionally used and going by his examples. The Bahamas is not part of the United States.

Re: Freeman vs. Washington vs. Smith
Freeman voice is such a great part of who he is. Freeman can roll out of bed and give an epic speech about Dental Floss.

Re: Freeman vs. Washington vs. Smith
However if we are going greatest African American Actor of all time its a tie between Sidney Poitier or James Earle Jones.

Re: Freeman vs. Washington vs. Smith
I would say Freeman for Seven and Shawshank Redemption... but I say Washington.
Training Day, John Q, American Gangster, Man on Fire, Flight..... yes Denzel is wonderful! |
Re: Freeman vs. Washington vs. Smith
Denzel.
I think he surpassed Morgan years ago and Will Smith doesn't come close. Sidney Poitier is better than Smith too. |
Re: Freeman vs. Washington vs. Smith
Samuel Jackson is top three instead of Will Smith for me and is the closest to the other two.
1. Freeman 2. Washington 3. Jackson 4. Smith 5. Whitaker |
Re: Freeman vs. Washington vs. Smith
1 Morgan Freeman
2 Samuel L Jackson 3 Denzal Washington. 4 Edris Elba 5 Will Smith This would be a list of currently working not all time. |
For what it's worth, I'm not a big Smith fan acting-wise.
Sam Jackson, Denzel and Freeman are all in my Top 20-25 Performer Actors. |
Re: Freeman vs. Washington vs. Smith
For me putting Freeman with the other two is stretching it. He is a Rolls Royce compared to sports cars. If I had to pick, it would be Freeman by a country mile. Or earth radius... Whatever!
I say if God existed and had a voice, he would sound like Freeman. Bruce Almighty power!!! :king: One thing about Poitier, is his dialogue delivery. Which I found a little off putting without being annoying. He always seemed like he was stressing his vocal cords to deliver some sort of emotion! |
