Growing up Denzel was considered the Goat, how old were you when you realized Jamie Foxx & Samuel L Jackson were better actors.

[Shadow King]

What does Will lack as an actor that Jamie /Denzel have?

Will cannot play a villain or morally dark character. He's admitted he has a hero complex from his views on his father and it's super obvious in his filmography.

 

[Admiral Kali]

Jamie Foxx isn’t a better actor overall…. but Sam Jack is

Literally the opposite

 

[Ozymandeas]

Jamie “Get Your Hands Off My Jordans” Fox

Ray got you gassed?
Fox as X?
Fox as John Q?
Fox in Flight?

Hehehehehe

Jamie is a class clown so he's hard to take serious at times but, he's actually a very good actor.

Jamie could've played all of those characters. Especially Flight & John Q. X would be difficult. He could do it but, not as good as Denzel.

I don't know if Denzel could play all of Jamie's roles.

I thought he was an excellent villain in "The Pursuit of Happiness"

 

[Jplaya2023]

Willie Beamen was a multifaceted character, Zel could’ve pulled of the serious tones, but no way he would’ve pulled of the shyt like this

Zel couldnt play an immature 20 year old narrccist QB?

 

[Jazzy B.]

Denzel is the best leading man.

Sam has the most range.

Jamie is the most comedic.

I can't see Denzel or Jamie playing this character

 

[spliz]

Have you ever seen Glory? Young Denzel would have bodied that role.

Jamie Foxx has range but he is not better than the current top 3
In no order:
Denzel
Samuel L Jackson
Jeffrey Wright

Jamie is in the next tier with Will Smith, Terrance Howard, Larenz Tate, Chadwick Bozeman (RIP), and a couple of others.

Morgan Freeman as well. But honestly. As far as pure skill. Jeffrey Wright is better than all of em named.

 

[Shadow King]

Denzel is the best leading man.

Sam has the most range.

Jamie is the most comedic.

I can't see Denzel or Jamie playing this character

Jamie could absolutely play that character...his comedic background is why he doesn't get taken serious enough in the first place.

It's unlikely because Jamie has yet to embrace/lean into his age.

 

[TAYLONDO SAMSWORTHY]

You know why?

Yeah because his serious face looks like be gonna bust out laughing at any second. His quivering eyes and mouth be havin me weak



Denzel lightyears >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 

[TEH]

Let’s sit down and have a serious talk about Jeffery Wright.

 

[Wardo]

Why does someone always have to be better? They are all great in their own right.

 

[boogers]

Why does someone always have to be better? They are all great in their own right.

yeah the title is kinda flagrant. sam jackson is awesome, but he always is

but we are talking about denzel. sam is not better than denzel lol only because denzel hasnt been pigeonholed as much

now if you said laurence fishburne vs denzel you'd have a serious debate

 

[Sk3ptical]

I believe Jamie could’ve played any character Denzel has played. Denzel could not have played Django or Willie beamen.

 

[Ziggiy]

Will cannot play a villain or morally dark character. He's admitted he has a hero complex from his views on his father and it's super obvious in his filmography.

He can he just doesn’t do it which is a strike against him.

 

[Ku$h Parker]

I was 12 when I watched him in Pulp Fiction and remembered that he was Gator prior,he became better than Ahnold & Denzel that day
