"...Two is not a winner and three noone remembers." So, the question says it all. If I missed one, mention it.  Basically, I want you to vote, then put all the names in order of your favorite all the way to your least favorite. Alright, lets go! ;D Me: 1. Denzel Washington 2. Will Smith 3. Jamie Foxx 4. Laurence Fishburne 5. Samuel L. Jackson 6. Wesley Snipes YES how good of an actor can be incorperated into your opinion of 'coolness'.  Killerzzz |

Sam Jackson pretty much defines cool to me, so he's top. Laurence Fishburne & Wesley Snipes follow, and I don't really have an order for the rest.

While Denzel is by far the best actor of the bunch, there is no other actor, alive or dead, who can top Sam for sheer coolness.

You forgot Morgan Freeman...
Wesley Snipes did a wonderful job in Demolition Man, Blade 1-2-3, Money Train, U.S. Marshals etc
Sam L. Jackson is actually one of my least of the list, but do I really have to pick?
Sorry nocando, they are all great Killerzzz ;D |

You forgot Morgan Freeman... Yeah, I was expecting to miss some. Can't believe it was Morgan Freeman, though. He'd probably fit in at second or third place for me. You know what? I just thought of another: Michael Clarke Duncan. I especially liked him in Green Mile, but he's been good in action movies too. ;D Not sure where I'd place him... #4 or #5? Like I said, any others you think deserve to be on the list, just say so. ;D I was gonna say the same, but it's hard to choose between any of those Killerzzz already posted. While will smith made a big impression on me with his move "The Pursuit of Happiness" and Laurence Fishburne was and excellent Ike Turner and a terrific Morpheus in the Matrix, Denzel on the other hand, great in Philadelphia, Deja Vu, Man on Fire...
Wesley Snipes did a wonderful job in Demolition Man, Blade 1-2-3, Money Train, U.S. Marshals etc

Sorry nocando, they are all great Killerzzz ;D Honestly all I wanted was a responce; and yours was a nice big one.  I really just added in the poll as a bonus. Killerzzz |

Michael Clarke Duncan, great actor with a high teddybear factor, especially in the Green Mile. I saw him in the Scorpion King, less teddybear there and in Kingpins? Dunno if the name is correct.
Can I add a few more great afro american actors to the list? ;D
Djimon Hounsou: Look for "The Gladiator", "Eragon" and "Blood Diamond"
Forest Whitaker too much to list here, but have a look at his movies, I bet you would agree with me.
Chris Tucker I loved him in the Fifth Element and in Rush Hour of course. Played a part in Michael Jackson's "You rock my world" video.
Cuba Gooding Jr. First time I saw him was in "Lighting Jack" as the mute Ben Doyle, made a good imprerssion on me and I was a fan. He has this expression on his face, which makes him both a serious actor as a comedian.
So far the list of african american actors, may add more later

Nice additions, Gal. ;D I used to be a fan of Cuba, but a few of his movies (not exactly lately, but lately-ish), the last bunch I've seen, have been poor or cheezy. Well, I'll just say it; the one I have in mind particularily is Snow Dogs. But then Radio kinda redeemed him for me as "good actor". So, I'm here and there in my opinion of him. Killerzzz |

...and what do you think of Terrance Howard...great actor IMO.. Oh, definately. While I wouldn't call him an action movie actor (though he appears in action movies, he's often the cool guy - detective- who is involved but not directly in the action), he sure as heck does an amazing acting job all the time. Even in Hustle&Flow where he plays an emotionally-challenged-poor-pimp-turned-rapper. ;D A few movies off the top of my head I liked him in... Four Brothers, Crash, (Hustle and Flow ), and another one thats on the tip of my toung... and many more I can't remember. Killerzzz |
