Best British Black actor: Idris Elba or Chiwetel Ejiofor

[Spectrum]

you're not understanding man.... I was really fucked up...i don't even smoke weed and I thought I was high....i thought the sound on my tv was out of sync or some shit.... that's actually when I first started appreciated him as an actor...

Dirty Pretty Things puts Chiwetel over Idris by a slim margin to me.

I support whatever both of them are in though

this..


I admire both of these brothers, but Chiwetel has a slight edge in natural talent.

 

[Lick]

Can't choose between both as they are both good.

Another up and coming one is David Oyelowo

Good call Bruh... we always have to choose between two or three when there are a ton of great ones!

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

Idris is my favorite, but Chiwetel is more polished. Lennie doesn't get the shine he deserves, but I respect his talent.

 

[Bones]

Chiwetel Ejiofor is the better actor

 

[godofwine]

I vote for Victor Sweet - Chewy

 

[BIGGSARGE]

Both are great but Ejiofor is the better actor.

Chiwetel Ejiofor is a cold beast. I see him as the next Denzel.

Sidenote: Wahlburg is all over Hollywood because of his name. Nothing more.

I was going to say something but didn't feel like doing the research to bop dude over the head, but DJmarkxr7 said it right. Wahlberg may have got his start because of his name, but he stayed because he is actually talented.

Channing Tatum is going to stay because he followed the Will Smith model (something more Hollywood types should do) by producing/executive producing their films so they don't have to sit and wait for a call, but they can be both the whore AND the pimp at the same time. He and Steven Sodoberg producted Magic Mike with their own money ($7M budget) and that shit cleaned up in the theaters. Now, even though he can't act for shit, he has power because he now produces his movies.

Wahlberg hasn't been in many movies that were complete shit, at least when his perfprmance has been shit. Dude went from being Marky Mark to an actual actor - 4 Brothers was my shit, so was Italian Job.

STOP IT!!!

Dude won't be in the running for an Oscar, but he makes good, solid, watchable movies that make $$$!

(of course, I'm excusing that M. Night Shyamalan mess "The Happening")

"Four Brothers"
Budget - $45 million
Worldwide Gross - $92 million

"Shooter"
Budget - $61 million
Worldwide Gross - $96 million

"Contraband"
Budget - $25 million
Worldwide Gross - $96 million

"The Italian Job"
Budget - $60 million
Worldwide Gross - $176 million

"The Fighter"
Budget - $25 million
Worldwide Gross - $129 million

"Planet of the Apes"
Budget - $100 million
Worldwide Gross - $362 million

"Ted"
Budget - $50 million
Worldwide Gross - $549 million

There are PLENTY more, but you get the point, he's also had a hand as producer in most of his latest movies, and let's not forget this one is coming out in 2 weeks!

2. Chiwetel
3. Idris
