no doubt, Denzel merked it as Malcolm, he did his thing, Robert Duvall has done his thing, thing aswell you know, here's some other top notch actorsTrademark wrote:
Inside Man (2006)
Glory (1989)
Malcolm X (1992)
Philadelphia (1993)
Fallen (1998)

IN MY PERSONAL OPINION his performance in Malcolm X is top 3 of all time.
Al Pachino
Robert De Niro
Harvey Keitel
Samuel L Jackson
Giancarlo Espisito(he's bare underated)
Christopher Walken
Marlon Brando

There's two people who should get on lists like these but don't cause they never play "dangerous" roles; Tom Hanks and Kevin Kline. They barely missed mine.

yeah I see you on that, I only included Brando on the strength of the Godfather alone, knowing he isn't from that type of background, or wasn't around any of that type of road type of stuff you know, that brother fooled me, yes he did, he's a good fucking actor, just from the strength of that, he acted heavy, but yeah your right, I shouldn't have included himIcesickle wrote:I don't know if Brando would qualify as "our times" being that his heyday was the 50s - 70s.cascarrabias wrote:Forgot Brando and Hackman.

I would go Mason Storm #1 and Nico #2, but the rest of your list is great.
You guys really need to put in the effort to see Urban Justice. It is the apex of Steven's 21st century wiggerdom, but it works. Eddie Griffin is in it. It really is his best movie since Ticker.

playing yourself over and over only adding slight motifications like "he's a chef" "he can play the guitar with travis tritt" "he is native american" doesn't really count as great acting..

What are you talking about? Expect for sequels he plays completely different characters in every movie. Shit, sometimes he is a Chicago police officer while in other roles he is a LA police officer meaning he has to play the character in a completely different way in order to show the differences. Hell i would say it takes more acting ability to do this. And lets not forget the times he is an undercover FBI agent. And that is not even touching the times he plays a special force agent.
