When are we going to admit that Eddie Murphy is a Top 5 actor of all time??

[UpAndComing]

Nah, I didn't say comedic actor. Dude is one of the Top 5 greatest actors of all time, easily

It's weird, cause I don't think Comedians get their just due when it comes to how great they are on the TV or Movie screen. This dude has everything. The personality, charisma, confidence, honest, suave, hilarious, captivating. He always acted from a position of superiority. Amazing

My Top 5 actors

1. Denzel
2. Leonardo Dicaprio
3. Eddie Murphy
4. Tom Hanks
5. Wesley Snipes

I'm not a big enough movie fan to rank actors, but Eddies prime was

 

[FlexPavilion]

Commercially speaking, I agree

He needs to do more roles like Dreamgirls. He was pissed he didn't win that Academy Award.

 

[the cac mamba]

how about range? not that he doesnt have it, im just not that up on his catalog

but now that you mention it, hes pretty fukkin underrated

edit: ^^^ havent seen dreamgirls, i assume that was a serious role. what other shyt like that did he do?

 

[skokiaan]

I don't know about top five actor. Definitely top five comedian, maybe even just under Pryor. I haven't seen his whole movie catalog to give a full opinion but it looks like he mostly plays the comedic role in his films. Your top five looks ok but your forgetting people like De Niro, who has classics all over and even Dwayne Johnson been on an impressive run these past few years. You also didn't mention Will Smith, who while he hasn't been putting out as much hits lately, still has an impressive catalog. Eddie Murphy does have some good films and is a good actor but I wouldn't put him top five.

Dude the best stand up comic of all time and most likely the best comedic actor, however he's not touching cats like DeNiro, Sidney Poitier, Jeff Bridges etc Just my 2 cents.

 

[The Gimp]

He's top 5 at fukking trannies

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

He's top 5 at fukking trannies

 

[Wildin]

I don't think people on the coli like him because he dressed up like a woman in the nutty professor 1 and 2 and Norbit.

Spoiler

 

[TrebleMan]

A lot of cats sleep on Metro but dude pulled off an action role really well in that too.

Pryor is always overrated to me. It seems Black people like Pryor because ironically he was the first black comedian white people fully accepted
