Gotta go with Jamie in Ray.

But i always gotta say Eddie Winslow played the best Ali, and Ving Rhames killed it as Don King in "Only in America "

Denzel killed it but there were times where I was like that's Denzel. Jamie tho. That shyt was next level.

a lot of great picks in here, but I think Laurence and Jamie were the hardest hitting.

I always think its a credit when the actor is so good he puts you in mind of the character even though they dont resemble each other physically. Denzel comes through on this. props to Nigel Thatch too, even though he seems to have more of a resemblence to Malcolm.

I really enjoyed Woody McClain as Bobby Brown.

Jeffrey Wright is one the best actors alive, but his biopic performances are surprisingly terrible.
Basquiat and Muddy Waters roles were bad.

Correct answer is obviously Denzel, but how are y'all forgetting Don Cheadle??? He was The G.O.A.T.




LITERALLY.

I don't know enough about the real life singer to know how accurate the performance was, but Larenz Tate was great in Why Do Fools Fall in Love as Little Anthony.
Bad movie but a great performance.
