Top Ten Black Actors

Morgan Freeman is not only the best black actor but also the best actor in Hollywood. Take a look at his resume-The Shawshank Redemption, Bruce Almighty, Million Dollar Baby, The Dark Knight etc..

First let me start by asking how the hell did Cuba Gooding Jr. Get in the top ten of this list? And also Morgan Freeman is the #1 reason why I can believe God is black.

Morgan Freeman is by far the greatest person on earth, hands down.

I'm a Swede, and I've always said, "I wish that Morgan Freeman was my grandpa." His GENIUS transcends Race.

The Great Debaters, American Gangster, Deja Vu, Inside Man, The Manchurian Candidate, Man on Fire, Out of Time, Antwone Fisher, John Q, Training Day, Remember the Titans, The Hurricane, The Bone Collector, The Siege, He Got Game, Fallen, The Preacher's Wife, Courage Under Fire, Devil in a Blue Dress, Crimson Tide, Philadelphia, The Pelican Brief, even Much Ado About Nothing, the best I think - Malcolm X, Ricochet, Mo' Better Blues, Glory, The Mighty Quinn... plus some others which I haven't watched, each performance just as awesome I would expect.

Dig this, the man is on a whole different level from these guys or any other actor hands down! - Dania0671

Mr. Washington's body of work speaks for itself, has paved the way for the next generation as did Mr. Poitier. The quality of product that he puts out. The countless times he was passed over for an Oscar. Jeffery Wright, James Earl Jones, Eddie Murphy, why are these name not mentioned when we are speaking of talent?

Will Smith is great, but I'm not sure he's the best yet. Hard to top Denzel. Here's my list:
1. Denzel Washington
2. Sidney Poitier
3. Morgan Freeman/Will Smith
5. Samuel L. Jackson
6. Cuba Gooding Jr. (who got snubbed on this list)
7. Don Cheadle (great actor, but needs to do more)
8. Forest Whitaker
9. Laurenece Fishburne
10. Terrence Howard - ryguys9

The absolute most versatile character Actor (Black or White). I have never seen him in a role I didn't like. He makes the movie

Will Smith is my man. so sexy and I like him in the movie "Pursuit to happiness" and "ALI".. Denzel Washington is my Idol when it comes to acting he deserve his oscars. I like him in Philadelphia. Morgan Freeman is a good example for"No small rule to a Great Actor"; Samuel L. Jackson is the perfect guy for either drama or action very versatile; Sidney Poitier- this is the man that started all. an Oscar the first African -American who won the Oscar my respect to him 100%. Forest Whitaker- of course Forest is fine actor of his time really good when it comes to acting. ; Cuba Gooding Jr. who forgot Cuba the guy who will take everything in the name of Arts. ; Jamie Foxx of course the oscar earner best example of great and fine acting... this are my best actors at no ranking they are all number to me...

"The best actor alive, he has the best success on the box office and people love watching him. BEST ACTOR ALIVE PERIOD... "

Will Smith is not just the best black actor he is the best actor. He has been my favorite since he came out. I'd have to say his best movies would be I Am Legend, Independence day, The Pursuit of Happyness, and Wild Wild West. The only movie that I didn't find absolutely amazing was his newest one, seven pounds. Will Smith is incredible.

Crazy funny

Samuel L. Jackson is the Man! - ThisSiteSucks

His acting ability is brilliant and when he speaks seems poetry. Watch meany of his movies.. Snakes on the plane, Pulp Fiction, The Negotiator, etc...

it is impossible to act snake on the plane

Mace windu and chief in the avengers

EDDIE MURPHY IS AWESOME! AND FUNNY! HE SHOULD BE NUMBER 3 OR 5. HE DESERVES THAT POSITION SO GIVE IT TO HIM.

For god's sake this is ridiculous, eddie murphy is amazing, he should be in the top 5!

Eddie Murphy is a top character and far more talented than 11

My dad is called Eddie yay awesome

Without a doubt one of the greatest actor ever to be on the silver screen, what he did for black actor is amazing, the younger people will vote for the will smith's and other actor, but if they knew what this great man injured to make life, easier for all black actor today, they need to watch this man and be amazed by his ability

I love his morals and values. He is a man's man... Or should be in my opinion.

His book, "Measure of a man"... Was a wonderful read. I would read another book by Sidney Poitier anytime.

I believe all men should aspire to have the same morals and values as Sidney Poitier himself.

I assume you mean comment quantity not quality. since I can type any old rubbish in here and as long as there's enough of it you're happy

This below Eddie Murphy? Is this a joke? - 445956

He not only plays diverse parts but, he also makes you believe them. I wish there were more clean cut, wonderful actors as he. Thank him for giving me so many happy hours. When can we see more of his acting ability? He is in the top percentage of all actors.

Great guy, I hope he continues to be blessed and successful in all his endeavors. I love everything about this man.

Everybody should know that he is a very good actor, he deserves stay in this list

If you wanna be my Vegan, you gotta get with my vegan friends, make it all vegan, being vegan never ends! he is also ok I guess. I am vegan

Largely under rated anybody who has seen the soloist or django knows he is the best out of last couple of years!

HE is an amazing actor! Just watch Collateral or Django unchained and you will share my opinion... He should be at least tenth in my opinion...

Jamie Foxx is a rabid racist and should be drummed out of acting for his vitriolic, foaming at the mouth, anti-White racism.

Jamie Foxx is truly a great actor. I would like to see more of him. Make a role for him. He is truly amazing.

Ray charles anyone

Between James Earl Jones & Morgan Freeman there will never be any actors that can come close to compare

Thank you so much for all of your dedicated work

Deserves better than 14th too

My number two...behind Morgan Freeman

Chris Rock plays the role in every movie just like he named one of them, which was,"DOWN TO EARTH". He's a really cool actor, not to mention; loving father, and a really handsome guy. Keep up the good work, Chris... Love ya!

Chris Rock is a fantastic actor. He has chivalry. Chivalry is not dead.

He's cool, not acting that good, though - NjakDjak

Your funny from Michelle

Too bad he's not number one I guess the time of him being number one was short get it because he's short

He is the best actor I've seen I love his acting very much I hope he becomes a very very famous actor

He's too funny
I watched central intelligence 4 times and he made me laugh every time

Kevin Hart, my man...He just got it all

I love Wesley Snipes. Great and beautiful actor. My favorite black actor. Loved him in The Fugitive. Great smile and great body.

My favorite. Versatile, energetic and fine. I'm waiting for Blade 4. Love me some Wesley. Too far down on the list.

He avoided tax, but did not avoid the vegan void in his heart. JOIN THE VEGAN ARMY. I am also a vegan

Should be better positioned.

Most commanding black actor since Denzel first burst on to the screen. 34th... Really?

Idris Elba is one of the most outstanding actors to come along in quite some time. Check out BBC's "Luther" or "The Wire" sometime and see for yourself.

An absolutely fantastic actor with versatility.
You are the best Idris

The next James Bond.

great funny actor, all the movies he did are funny and serious at the same time I like him so much but he better play again with will smith

Talented comedian. His characters are funny and original. He should a movie with all the " Martin " characters in it.

He CRAY doe! He funny as hell.

Great funny actor

R.I.P. michael Clarke Duncan. He was exceptional in The Green Mile

My mate thinks you are martin Lawrence, I am vegan

R.I.P, I am vegan

He's a great actor and trail breaker. He led the way so than many more could follow. He started out as a comedian, so unique and so talented.

This man is one of the best... Should be further up top!

boobs

Hilarious underrated actor. Should definitely be in more movies. The rush hour series was amazing and friday too they should stuff him in more now before he gets too old!

He's great needs to make more movies

Djimon Hounsou is probably my favorite black actor but that's just my opinion

I love his presence on camera and acting. I wish he had not been blacklisted. He should be in more films and honing his craft. I hope to see him higher on the list soon!

I think he's a great actor. What I like most about Tyler Perry is that he gives life to his characters, whether he's playing Madea or some other character actor that person come across as a real person, a person we can all relate to. He has taken us to another level. We see casts we wouldn't normally see and I'm loving it. Thanks Tyler.

He is a AWESOME actor!

Love this man... Especially love Madea... Needs to be up top!

Come on, why is he even on the list?

Ya this is really hard finding people who we have seen a lot of on T.V. I'm trying to remember a film with Nicolase Cage from the 80 and associated it with a famous African American actor, can't find the movie or this guy, but they have Michael Jackson on here, what.

Rank 50... what?

He's the best Singer of all time and I like hon in the role from men in black

The coroner from the final destination movies, candy man, and Reverend zombie from hatchet 1 and 2

No one will ever be that good he was ahead of his time the BEST THE VERY BEST AHEAD OF HIS TIME!

That dude was the BEST

Juice is one of the best early 90s movie created

A good man

Even though he is a rapper, ICE-CUBE is definitely a real talented actor. Not to mention; is really good in every role he play. Especially when he, and Mike Epps get together in acting. Those two negros are fools, and they will keep you laughing!

Love this mans grill

What else does he have to do to get on the list Wow!

He deserves better recognition.

Great actor
