Best Don Cheadle roles

[NormanConnors]

His best role & performance hands down is him as Petey Greene in the movie Talk to Me.

Close thread

 

[Black Ball]

I meant the bolded. If he had more opportunities and more big ass roles, dude would have been just as famous as Denzel because nobody can dispute his acting skills.

He's got that acting chops, but not the same presence & charisma to carry a movie like Denzel.

Hotel Rwanda he held it down
Mouse in Devil in a blue dress, stole the show.
Rocket in Colors

If Brooklyn's Finest had been shot soley from Don's (Tango) perspective it would've been Wesley's big comeback and Don would have an award waitin for him

Hotel Rwanda should've been his Oscar, over Jamie Foxx.

It was neck 'n neck but Jamie transformed like we never saw like Don did when he became Miles

Don Cheadle is one of those cats that doesn't get talked about much. IMO he is just as much a star as Denzel is and basically bodies EVERY single role he plays. What are some of you guy's favorite Don Cheadle flicks or roles?

Mine are Rosewood, Devil in a Blue Dress, House of Lies, Fresh Prince etc.

I'm trying to check out some of his other flicks but don't know what the classic ones are.

He's got a bunch of 'em Reign Over Me...Hamburger Hill...(Vietnam piece) Traitor

 

[RAX 010]

Can't forget Roccett in colors

 

[re'up]

'Brooklyn's Finest' is an underrated one of his....

 

[The Fire]

His hotel rwanda performance

 

[BaldingSoHard]

I gotta say it, I didn't like his performance in Iron Man. But I agree with everything else said here.

This. He looks nothing like James Rhodes.

Rebound and Talk to Me are his best roles imo....he showed every level of an actor in both of these roles

Absolutely love him in devil in a blue dress too

at what ended up happening in that scene. Every breh needs somebody like Mouse riding for their boy

He's got a bunch of 'em Reign Over Me...Hamburger Hill...(Vietnam piece) Traitor

Good looking out. Haven't heard of the first two. Reign Over Me looks kinda wack though based on the trailer I just saw on Youtube. Hamburger Hill looks legit - hope he has a big role in it.

One thing is for certain and rarely if ever is he bad in any role he takes.
