Do you think Will Smith has the ability to be a better actor than he is?

[luckyse7enz]

Will Smith has
Independence Day
Bad Boys 1 and 2
Men in Black Trilogy
Ali
Pursuit of Happiness
Shark Tail
and other movies that weren't as good but still did numbers.

What Does Jamie really have compared to him?

An Oscar.

 

[Mandarin Duck]

An Oscar.

True. But you said Entertainer. Which is really why I made this thread.
Without a doubt Will Smith's movies have grossed more than Jamie's.
But Jamie just might be respected more as an actor.
What could Will do to be respected as a well rounded actor?

Probably less action movies. Think you covered it earlier...maybe, try some indie stuff or get a major biopic. I definitely think he has the ability.

When I bring up the debate, I combine their music, big-screen film, television, and comedy to make it interesting. Check this out on Foxx's wiki:

Foxx was also confirmed by director Oliver Stone to be cast as Martin Luther King Jr. in his upcoming biopic produced by Steven Spielberg.[36]

But Jamie Foxx is a good example because he might have more Critically Acclaimed roles
Jaime jas an Acadamy and a Gold Globe award

Thats an impressive list of popular movies that weren't much good, films that no one will give a fukk about 20 years from now.

So Jamie's roles in Ray and Django Unchained will have him remember more than anything Will Smith has accomplished in his career?

Yes

 

[Mandarin Duck]

Yes

Because of an Oscar?
Johnny Depp doesnt haven an Oscar but Adrien Brody does.
Who will be more memorable of the two?

Will is good and he has talent but he does choose a lot of safe films!

See there's a difference between a great actor and a great movie star.

Will is a great movie star but he doesn't deserve to be mentioned with the great actors.

He said it himself, he'll only do a movie if he thinks it'll be a big commercial success. He's afraid of risks and working with maverick directors. So I can't really respect him. He's got more money than God but he's still chasing cheques and box office. He's not a true artist.

Ray yes, Django no

 

[Ziggiy]

Shouldve won a oscar for Pursuit of Happiness

Always thought this. He was really amazing in that movie. That, and Six Degrees Of Separation show that he has true acting chops
