If we're talking versatility I don't see why it's so ridiculous. Jamie has proven he can do Drama/Action/Suspense, has Denzel proven he can do comedy?
He was funny in a douchebag OG kinda way in Training Day. :myman:

Not to long ago there was a thread around here about how Samuel Jackson takes any and all roles...that's basically how I view Jamie Foxx as well. Take from that what u will.

Denzells best work is better than Jamies best work..... in saying that Jamie has far surpassed any expectations I had of him, hes better at comedic roles than Denzel but I think Denzel is a better serious actor

Denzel had a massive head start though.

You already see Jamie taking those bigger and more serious roles right now.

only role Jamie wowed me with was Ray, and he is a comedy who can do impersonations all while being a musician,
all in all Jamie don't got no classics
he ain't even pass Chris Tucker has far as Comedy is concerned, I mean what this got Bait

Glory
Soldier's Story
Malcolm X

It was a reason why Will was Ali and Jamie Foxx was supporting, he ain't on that level

I think he needs to be more selective now since hes proved hes got the chops.....unfortunately there is more money going down the blockbuster movie route and Jamie Fox doesnt strike me as the type to choose art over money

He's really not that good of an actor. Y'all need to stop it. In fact, he falls flat in a lot of roles. The only one he actually stood out in was Ray. He was blah in every thing else

And his acting in those roles aren't good definitely not even close to Denzel's level.

You can tell Jamie is acting. I hate that.
