Dudes sick... (i heard he got a Christian Bale type of attitude :/ )

way to stay on topic.

[tooeasy891]

Leo

 

[airmax305]

^edword nortons a BEAST he MURKED that primal fear movie ,cator within an actor

 

[kobefan23]

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.

 

[eeibaby]

Thats what I'm saying, if Denzel was a more versatile actor the roles he chose would show.

 

[eddie]

leo, versatility. Denzel get type casted into roles but he does a great job at it.

 

[AZwildcats]

My favorite movie of all time is Training Day so ill have to go w/ Denzel. Leo does his thing really well though

 

[harlem on the rise]

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.

 

[kingofilladelph]

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>*

[shaunhillftw49]

I swear Training Day is barely memorable.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Denzel has a larger body of work and is more capable than Leo with demanding roles.
