The Operative would own them both.

At the same time.

There are a lot of great actors. I could make a pretty long list off the top of my head.

True. One of the best villains recently. Operative>Chigurrh

Also, what makes the Operatives ideals twisted?





No homo, I probably have a man crush on both.

Chiwetel Ejiofor


Has been in more stuff, has better range, and can knock out lead roles.

Which of these two is the best black actor in the business, today?


Neither. It is and has been Don Cheadle for a long time. He may not always choose the best roles, but he is brilliant in the right stuff and has far more range than either Elba or Ejiofor.

Here are Elba and Ejiofor (although barely seen in this scene) from the same movie

No.

I used to feel that way.

Then I saw Talk to Me.

Ejiofor owns every scene the two of them are in. . .

Between the two Idris Elba.

But there are plenty of guys out there like Jeffrey Wright that are vastly underrated. I'm also an Anthony Mackie fan.

By the way, what the hell happened to Larenz Tate? He fell off then showed back up on Rescue Me 5-6 years later. I thought for sure he'd be able to sustain what he had going from Dead Presidents and on.

Jeffrey Wright is an amazing character actor. He needs to be in more movies.
