Funny now all these cats are british

dude, even the white actors are all british. its like hollywood is outsourcing.

 

[JazzyBenz]

Chiwetel gets the nod. Not by much though. Both guys are top notch.

The Shadow Line mini series did it for me!
Idris is right behind tho...

Idris will win oscar for this:

yep

 

[DJCandle]

Do you mean he has more comedic range than the other two?

I stand corrected.

Thank you.

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

have you seen redbelt?

that shit was awesome

surprised the hell out of me.

he'd be a perfect black terminator too how he was walking around whooping people ass and not losing focus on his target at the end in the arena.

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

yep

i hope he does.

there are so many good black actors out there.
we should make a list and try to support them and their movies

I raise you all.. Lennie James..

Let's not forget Adrian Lester.....

 

[wiZe]

I raise you all.. Lennie James..

I've only seen him in The Walking Dead. What else is he in?

He's in there too. They're all on equal footing imo. Loved his cop show he just did under a year ago.

have you seen redbelt?

He hasn't!!!

Their acting IMO just comes across as being so much more polish.

My bad fam, I thought I was the last dude on earth who hadn't seen the wire.

Eh, it happens.

He has EVERYTHING needed to play the comic book character Black Panther. Everything, he obviously can act, he can fight, he certainly can do the accent and he can hold the screen.

Their acting IMO just comes across as being so much more polish.

uk actors do come across as being more serious about their craft. maybe cuz its harder for them to break into hollywood.

anthony mackie is an american brotha who i believe has a similar work ethic.

He may have the work ethic, But lets not get it twisted. In comparison to the actors we posted he's not on that level.

I seriously doubt he has that kinda range and IMO he projects a supporting character role in most things I've seen him in.

cant wait to see more

Damn, yall forgot my boy Geoffrey?

Chiwetel.

Holy shit, you may be right with this one!

 

[jcthesmooth]

Idris is a very good actor but have you guys heard the movies where hes tried to pull off accents and act at the same time?? Ghost Rider, Prometheus, Thor, Takers, etc... Debacle.


Chiwetel>>>

Accents he is british.

 

[BenQ]

Morgan from The walking dead ?

 

[will_right]

[fabregas]

Idris hands down. He has the "IT" look.

Best British Black actor bruh, Derek Luke was born in Jersey City, Mackie in New Orleans.

 

[OnSlaught]

have you seen redbelt?

Co-sign. He fuckig killed that role in that movie.

That movie is very good, but highly underrated...

Not on the same level as the rest. But I would put Derek Luke above Mackie. Bottomline, folks aren't paying to see these two as the lead for any kinda serious decent movie...

Exactly.

Nope!

1) Chiwetel Ejiofor
2) Lennie James
3) Idris Elba

I could easily put Idris over James simply because we've seen more variety from him.

This is my order

Kareem Said!

I don't know Chiwetel Ejiofor but Said and Stringer both fooled the hell out of me with their HBO roles; 5 minutes ago I'd have assumed Stringer was a native American.

I was late to the party man. I watched the wire for the first time maybe 2-3 years ago..and hadn't even heard of Idris Elba... when I saw him in an interview later I was fucked up like..that muthafucka is a Brit
