...smh at virtual police
 
Any Denzel movie is a must-watch for me, but Leo is a FAR superior actor. He chooses much more challenging roles that really demonstrate his skills as an actor. Two of my favorites though.
 
Thats what I'm saying, if Denzel was a more versatile actor the roles he chose would show.
 
leo, versatility. Denzel get type casted into roles but he does a great job at it.
 
My favorite movie of all time is Training Day so ill have to go w/ Denzel. Leo does his thing really well though
 
How isn't Denzel versatile?? He's played everything from a southern football coach to a NY 1970's gangster...

Malcolm X
Jake Shuttlesworth
etc...

Son's last five movies all I have the same type of character.
 
Denzel is like Shaq. Yeah, he only has a certain skill set...but he's dominant with that skill set.

Leo is like Kobe. Talent and versatility.




But at the end of the day....Don Cheadle>*
