If PAC was never shot in Vegas then yes. But if he was still shot in Vegas then survived, No.

PAC lost a lung, fingers, probably would have never walked and possibility never been able to speak again. If PAC survived the Vegas shooting he would have been severely disabled.

If 2Pac were alive Denzel Washington would be working at McDonalds.

There's a huge gap between Denzel & Pac. Hell, you have theater trained actors like Clifton Powell, Yaphet Kotto, Charles S Dutton, Courtney Vance, Forest Whitaker. And the Larry Fishburn, Isaiah Washington, Don Cheadle, Joe Morton...

Pac would've probably been in the Will Smith crop, with better range. But his opportunities for roles would have been endless.

He was definitely above Mekhi is skills though, and Morris Chestnut..hell, the entire Boyz crew, and Juice.

With the way Pac loved to work, he most likely ends up as Sam Jack’s competition.

Imagine Tupac as Nick Fury hanging out the aircraft middle fingers to Thanos.... and the crowd reaction when he comes through that portal in endgame with Suge and MOB Piru to stomp the ever loving shyt out him and the black order :ohlawd:

It's interesting to think about Pac's acting career had he not died. I think he woulda taken a lot more darker more intense roles than Denzel. Denzel can do dark and intense roles like Training Day obviously but he's usually more the hero in his movies. But maybe Pac woulda got the chance to do a couple action movies where he was the hero or something.

no, he wouldn't have. but if he had time to get away from the "thug life" bullshyt, i think he would've attempted to stretch himself in some unconventional dramatic roles

He was suppose to be Samuel L Jackson's role in Star Wars. That would have boosted him regardless of the other roles he was lining up worked or not.

Then I'm sure Pac would have challenged Will Smith for summertime blockbuster hero at some point as well because Pac was ready to compete in acting just like hip hop.

Then How we know Pac wouldn't have been in the Matrix? Will Smith turned it down. Keanu Reeves was still full blown Valley Boy accent with limited ability to deliver emotion on camera.

Pac being Neo or Morpheus doesn't seem far fetched.

Pac was supposed to be in Independence Day and Forrest Gump. Those two roles would've been huge.

His movie career had potential to eclipse his rapping and he himself said that is where he was heading in his last few interviews.

They act like Keanu Reeves and all Will Smith roles was safe.

Pac in Fast and Furious!?! Highly probable. Pac in XXX!?!! highly probable.
