Samuel L Jackson is one of the great character actors of our time. He is a chameleon. Denzel Washington is one of the great movie stars of our time. Denzel is always Denzel in all his movies - the walk, the smile, that look is always present - except for Malcolm X when he did actually transform into the character and should have won the Oscar for that role. Comparing them is a fool's errand, they are both equally great and different.

Denzel definitely has my vote over SJ. I remember when DW won his Oscar for Glory. Sidney Poitier was there that night. DW looked at Sidney and thanked him for being an inspiration and told him "I'm always chasing you." In other words: I'm always striving to be as great an actor and an inspiration to others as you've always been to me. Like Poitier, DW wanted to play parts with substance, men who were respected, dignified, men with strength, men with intelligence (i.e., Malcolm X, John Q, Trip from Glory, Bleak from Mo Better Blues, Alonzo from Training Day...). I also remember a Sidney Poitier interview from when I was a kid where he has declined certain parts because he wanted to play the role of men of distinction, respect, strength, education, intelligence... He said he noticed that Hollywood wasn't offering subservient/clownish/buffoonish roles to guys like Cary Grant, Henry Fonda, or Gregory Peck and he wanted that same respect and wouldn't accept anything less. Now with all that being said, as great as SJ is as an actor, I can't see DW playing a lot of SJ's parts like Stephen from Django or the robber from Coming To America or Gator from Jungle Fever or Neville from Snakes On A Plane or Lazarus from Black Snake Moan.

There’s a difference between playing a role and being phenomenal in a role. The reason Denzel won the Oscar for Training Day was because he surpassed all expectations and evolved his versatility. Before Training Day Denzel always played sophisticated roles, he never played a grimy character(maybe in, "He Got Game") at that point and surprised everyone. Samuel L Jackson has this aesthetic to him where he ends up playing the same guy.

They are both top notch actors but anything that has to do with an award is rigged.. they both have their niches there are certain roles for certain people and that's just how it is

Can Sam play Othello? Possibly. However, some actors just make roles seem as of only they can play it. And, I agree with Michael on it being hard for Denzel to act in certain roles that Sam played as well. ("Django," being one of.)

Two things to think about....a lot of Sam roles are of him cursing up a storm. Remove the cursing and think what's left. Is the acting as impactful without the cursing? Denzel's achilles heal is probably comedy. I cannot imagine Denzel playing Rev. Fred Sultan (Samuel L. Jackson's character) in "The Great White Hype". Sam was hysterically funny! Honorable mention for Forest Whitaker, he's GREAT!!

Denzel: 10 Oscar Nominations and 2 Wins Samuel L Jackson: 1 Oscar Nomination and 1 “honorary Oscar” win C’mon. It’s no contest.

Angela Bassett is one of the greatest actresses but has never won an Oscar.

@@darionboswell1973 that’s not the point though. I’m not saying Samuel L Jackson is not a good actor. He’s a great one. The point is he’s not as good as Denzel.

Most Samuel Jackson roles was of him playing himself. Also he played roles that was straight up humiliating, with the humiliation he'd die almost soon after 💯

Now that you mention it, lol 😊. Respectfully of course.

The Dark Knight being referred to as Tha Great one like Wayne Gretzky makes me 😊

1. That Oscar point is so dumb, Sam was robbed multiple times. 2. “He also played when the helmets were leather” Lmao that took me out

You said "Denzel plays Denzel in every role" that's just not true i literally just named a bunch of movies that aren't similar just because he doesn't put himself in a costume doesn't mean he's playing Denzel in every movie. Literally compare his portrayals in training day, flight,man on fire, fences and even Philadelphia...they are completely different and nothing alike.

All that hair dye has Fred Williamson’s brain 🧠

Vlad totally missed where DL was going with the leather helmets. 😂 I knew exactly where DL was going and why he was making those faces

Diversity of the roles isn’t the question when assessing Denzel’s greatness, it’s the unique delivery of the character that can’t be duplicated.
