2Pac Would’ve Been Denzel Washington’s Competition Had He Lived, Says Allen Hughes

[JustCKing]

he'd def be better than Will Smith. Yall are hating like a mf if you think Pac wouldn't be with the likes of Denzel. He would've done as GREAT on "Training Day" or BETTER if Pac was lead role. Matta fact, thinking it about it right now... that role was MADE FOR PAC



we we're robbed

Would Pac been able to pull off Malcolm X, Frank Lucas, or John Q convincingly though.

 

[Ghost Like Swayze]

he would have been an ice-cube level actor

Pac was a natural.I think he even had more natural charisma than Denzel.Imagine a 40 yr old Pac with experience/more seasoning as Alonzo in training day? Where was Denzel at 24-25?

Doin theater

I always said this about Pac. He was a trained actor since High School. The dude had mega talent & was going to slowly transition to acting full time like Will Smith. Cut down too soon

Denzel didn’t really break through in movies until he was into his 30’s. Won Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Glory when he was 35 as his first true breakthrough role. 2Pac could have truly developed into an amazing actor if given the time

 

[Cheese McNair]

someone mentioned Samuel l Jackson and now I wanna see Pac play Sam’s role in Lakeview Terrace

That shyt would’ve been great

 

[bigde09]

Pac was starting to show the range towards the end of his life. Gang Related and Gridlock’d were his best performances.

 

[Sean7]

He was definitely a solid actor and had some great roles.
Denzel though is GOAT status to me and the upper echelon, he is hard to touch as far as acting goes.

 

[King Poetic]

Couldn’t see pac doing a soldiers story , glory or Malcolm x type of role

Dude would been Ice T level

Pac wasnt a good actor

this is bullshyt. hahaa. I'm not the biggest 2pac fan because he was a 2 faced mf, but he was a terrific actor. He never played the same roles. Bishop was a character. He went from that to playing an everyday ordinary guy working at the post office. Then later on he played a heroin addict and police officer(i'm purposely leaving out Bullet). He was pretty good.

Pac was already showing his range pretty early. I believe this.

 

[Westbama Heartthrob]

If pac had lived and got the role as mace windu, I feel that would've upped his profile into getting superstar roles

When I first heard he tried out for it, I didn't see it working cause of how wooden the acting was directed in the prequel trilogy

I was listening to this the other day and it clicked

Think he could've pulled off a wiser, more stoic role while still retaining some edge

 

[Bigsuk]

cats tripping saying pac was a terrible or bad actor …. He was showing more of a range before he passed ….. as far as comparison to denzel I wouldn’t go that far denzel is 1 ov if not the best black Hollywood actors along aside Samual L Jackson ….I think pac had he survived and done a lot more films he would have gotten bigger ..possibly will smith status if he had more bigger film budget roles and different type of roles ….fun fact for y’all … biggie was supposed to be doing a film where he would have Been a drug kingpin either with al Pacino or de Niro it was supposed to be in production or about to be but as we know what happened that never became a reality

Pac wasnt a good actor

Naaaah we can't say this
