Denzel Washington among the best
Actor has starred in countless great films.

It's been a little bit since my last entry. I've had many conversations with my roommate about who is currently the best actor. I've always considered Denzel Washington my favorite actor since I can remember and I got to be honest, I believe he is the best actor in Tinsel Town right now.
Film by film, just great. "Man On Fire," "American Gangster," "John Q," "Training Day," "Inside Man," and "Deja Vu" are some of his more recent films, which are all fantastic. Now some of the other names we brought up were Mark Wahlberg and Nicolas Cage. However, I feel while both have made great films, they've made some questionable films as well. I thought "Ghost Rider" was the worst Cage film I had ever seen.
With that said, I am surprised Denzel hasn't won more Oscars. Yes, his role in "American Gangster" was similar to "Training Day," but he was damn good as Frank Lucas. Now I am not really sure what Washington film I would say was his best, anyone got any thoughts? Also, care to share who you guys consider your favorite actor?
Thanks for reading and Rock Chalk Jayhawk this Saturday!
