Most Eddie Murphy films are a good laugh.
I enjoy Zoe Saldana's acting. She knows how to carry a scene, and her "eye acting" isn't half bad either.
Andrea Benjamin aka Andre 3000. This dude is a surprisingly good actor(considering he started as a singer) and his portrayal of Jimi Hendrix was top-notch.

If makeup could change the shape of people's eye sockets more than it can, that could be mistaken for the real deal. :| I wanna see that movie.Quote:

Don Cheadle!
Some of the best stuff Hendrix did was covers, though :) Hey Joe, for instance.Quote:

Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington, and a tie between Will Smith and Jamie Fox.
I'm actually not very good at remembering actors and their names. Still, even I can mention Morgan Freeman at least.
Favorite black actors: Denzel Washington, Michael B. Jordan, Forest Whitaker, Sidney Lumet, Jamie Foxx, Eddie Murphy, Samuel L. Jackson, and Larenz Tate
Favorite black actresses: Sanaa Lathan, Thandie Newton, that lady from Shameless too :), Danai Gurira (Michonne in Walking Dead), and Halle Berry
Lewis Black
How could I forget Samuel L. Jackson?Quote:

I forgot Idris Elba. I am scum.
He is actually my favorite. I saw him in a terrible indie film of just him in a hotel room and I watched it from beginning to end simply because he is just that damn good an actor.
Yeah, Elba is fantastic. He's not often in the kinds of things I like to watch, but I watch his stuff sometimes just to see him at work.
Has Tatyana Ali acted since Fresh Prince? Either way, gosh, she's gorgeous.
I've always liked Will Smith, unapologetically.
I love Dule Hill from the show, Psych. Not an actor most people would recognize (was in the movie Holes and on the show West Wing, too). In any case, he's great in Psych, and now that it's over, I hope finds something else to star in.
Jaime Foxx is the trout.
No Octavia Spencer love?
Eartha Kitt was one of my favorite people ever.
Kerry Washington.
That'd be Janie Hendrix, by the way, technically Jimi's stepmom, though I don't know if the two spent much time together while he was alive...Quote:
