Leonardo DiCaprio Vs Denzel Washington Vol. Who's the better Actor

[mosthated770]

LEO

 

[fraij da 5 11]

I don't even really like Leo but hes a better actor in my opinion... Denzel makes hits but hes got nothing on Leo's ACTING skills.

 

[S3NTINEL2001]

Leo > Denzel

plus leo is still young and has already passed denzel.

 

[biggimike]

Two different styles and both play their roles great. Someof you act like Denzel is on Samuel L. Jackson's level of having almost thesame persona with all of his roles.
Its like asking who is better, Michael Jordan or DerekJeter? 

 

[xilegacy]

Denzel got an Oscar for Training Day

. He has done a lot of great movies and he was great in that movie but it definitely doesn't deserve an Oscar.

How does Leo not get an Oscar for What's Eating Gilbert Grape. If that isn't phenomenal acting I don't  know what is. I also really liked him in Blood Diamond, but that year had some real heavy competition. I know he will get one soon because Scorsese is gonna make it happen. That being said Leoenzel. Both are great though and if anyone thinks he isn't type casted, you must be stupid. If you see his speech pattern in every movie it's practically the same just different roles.

leonardo
theres little to no variety in denzels roles. i
ts always an authority type figure or somethin of that nature

 

[Mamba4life]

Denzel with no versatilty?  Man, playing Malcolm X was like playing 3 different characters.  Training Day, Mo better blues, Devil in a Blue dress, AG?!?  I'll go with Denzel.  I do like Leo as well.  And don't sleep on my man Samuel.

[darth dnzy]

--With a resume like Leo's at the age he's at right now and he keeps it up..he will surpass Denzel.
--As a few people said, versatality is key.

--Denzel is still appreciated though. Training Day.

 

[mossman75]

Denzel by far

 

[size 15 please]

Mr. Washington

 

[al audi]

Agreed. But if I had to choose LDC..has taken more risk.

 

[gil23]

People are so reluctant to accept(race maybe)

.....you can put Leo in any Denzel role...not so much the other way around....People dont understand what acting is all about

 

[jonathanchingy]

Leo.

I see what you did there, black vs white.

I want to see Denzel go for a role thats outside his comfort zone

 

[duba169]

cmon now leo is more talented and it's honestly not even debatable when you look at their roles side by side. and i'm high on denzel wash. it's just that leo is gonna be the greatest actor of our (the generation after deniro, pacino, hoffman) generation. it's painfully obvious. he just needs to surpass depp.

however we can argue that denzel isn't offered many versatile characters because of his skin color. who knows
