    I can't pick one. Snipes, Samuel Jackson, and James Earl Jones (Darth Vader's voice, Conan the Barbarian, Soul Man...)

    Funny, I posted in this thread before but came back because I completely forgot my favorite, and he's in the post right above me.

    James Earl Jones.
    Oh my god is this man amazing in every role. His performance in The Great White Hope would probably rank as one of top five performances of all time.

    Hmm...well there are several. Jaime Foxx is number 1 that dude can play just about any role they give. Then Samuel L Jackson and Morgan Freeman and tied for second.

    Isn't Chris Tucker in : Jackie Brown : ?

    "Ya ponytail wearin mutha fucka hell wrong witchu?"

    Or was that somebody else [should ask google]?

    My favorite black actor ? (...thinking)

    ...thinking

    I think I like Forest Whittaker (sp unknown) because you never can tell what kind of character he's playing. He looks so good, but he's cast so -bad- and I believe every minute of it

    Is Chris Tucker also Ruby Rod in 5th Element?

    Cuz if he's both... he's on the top of my list too
