Who is your favorite black actor?

​

 

Those school girl day
if telling tales and bitting nails are gone
But in my mind I know they still live on and on
But how do you thank someone
who was taken you from crayons to perfume
It isn't easy but I'll try
If you wanted the sky
I'd write across the sky in letters
That would soar a thousand feet high
To sir with love
The time has come
For closing books and lock less looks like stares
And as I leave I know that I am leaving my best friend
A friend who taught me right from wrong
And weak from strong that's a lot to learn
What can I give you in return
If you wanted the moon
I would try to make a start but I
Would rather you let give my heart
To sir with love

Don Cheadle. Hotel Rwanda blew my mind. I'm also a Poitier freak

~Layla

 

crazy black dude in the cheech and chong movies he rocks!!!

 

Dave Chappelle

 

William Marshall

 

Poitier for sure, first on screen Inter-racial kiss, singing that Amen song with the nuns, getting those rebelious kids in line in the early 70's in Britan

and if you havent seen it see The simple life of Noah Dearborn, the secondary acting and writing is TERRIBLE but poitier shines and makes it a more than bearable movie.

 

Denzel Washington, unfortunately I don't really have a favorite black actress. But then again, I hate mst actresses to begin with.

 

Samuel Jackson of course.

 

Morgan Freeman

 

Howard Rollins, I believe his name was, he was with Carrol o Connor in THe Heat Of The Night series.

 

The dude that played Candyman. He still scares me.

 

Samuel L. Jackson beyond any shadow of a doubt!

The man rocks pants!!!

 

Chiwetel Ejiofor. A rising British star.

 

Tony Todd is pretty cool, he also played Kurn the brother of Commander Worf on Star Trek: the Next Generation

Fortunately we've moved beyond the traditional black television stereotypes like,


Rollo on Sanford & Son, that fancy-dude police informant Rooster on Baretta, Sanford & Sons bible thumping Aunt Esther, 300 lb Mrs. Thomas on What's Happening, Jive talking JJ on Good Times, James at 15's hip friend 'Sly' Hazeltine, and Huggy Bear on Starsky & Hutch
