Don Cheadle Stars in 'House of Lies' on Showtime

Tony Soprano said:
I told people back in 1996 that Don Cheadle was gonna be a beast after seeing him in "Devil in a Blue Dress". His supporting character in that flick literally stole the show from the Denzel Washington's lead role.

Did you ever see that dude in The G.O.A.T dude can fucking act. Highly underrated. Killed it in Traffic and Crashed. He's always stealing the show but gets no credit cause he's not a hearth throbe

His portrayal of Earl 'The Goat' Manigault was indeed underrated, I thought he shoulda won an emmy for that role. "Talk to Me" was another movie where he killed it.

I really hope Showtime doesn't cancel "House of Lies" because it's the frst time in a long time that a black leading role on TV was done in such a balls-to-the-wall fashion.

And talk about depth. That opening scene where he was crying about his mom's suicide was so on point and the way he is with his son is fucking awesome. He's far from one dimensional and I'm loving.

yeah he's not really a guy who would be snatching up modelling contracts if he wasn't already famous, but like everyone says, he's a good actor. The lack of publicity for this guy is like d@mn. The Rock gets more paparazzi than him, and he's not half the actor Don Cheadle is.

Rock makes them ladies go nuts tho....:smt025

My point is there's no way Will Smith should be a bigger actor but he is or at the very least he should be mentioned in the same list with him of big hollywood heavy weights but he's not and that's because he doesn't have the pretty boy factor. So like I was saying so much for men being able to slide on not having to be hot.

shiiet

Will Smith been riding his pretty boy style since the 90s

white people love looking at him...he's such a non-threatening, light brotha who as Eminem says 'doesn't have to use cuss words in his music to get a Grammy'

Will Smith & Don Cheadle both have the energy and charisma to command big-time leading roles. However what many people don't realize is that Will Smith doesn't have nearly as much versatility as Don Cheadle. Will can play a tough guy but he's too soft to play a villain.

Exactly. Truth be told dude is pretty one dimensional outside of Pursuit of Happiness which was amazing he's not good in dramas(which is usually the litmus test for good acting) ie Ali. That shit was the biggest boring piece of shit. He could never do a hotel rowanda or even Crash. Will Smith is pretty much an action star to me.

Never looked at it that way

Denzel, deniro and Pacino come to mind as people who can get that villain role down, while at the same time making an audience love em

Denzel killed that shit in Man Under Fire but never got the credit he deserved for that either. He is the most robbed actor in hollywood. He got fucked on X and Hurricane Carter and John Q and Remember The Titans and don't get me started on the Great Debators.
