Overall I prefer Forest Whitaker. He has more range overall.

Both are great actors, but I'm going to have to go with Denzel Washington, solely because of his performance in Malcolm X.

I'll choose Denzel because most of his movies are really good. Forest has been in some really bad movies.

I like Denzel a lot, but I've got to give it to Forest after seeing his performance in The Last King of Scotland.

Denzel Washington has the higher profile but I just don't get why he wastes a lot of his talent on stupid action movies. Man on fire was terrible. I don't know if The Book of Eli will be any better. Having said that I did like him in American Gangster recently.

My problem with Denzel is that he tends to play the same kind of very intense character. He hasn't gotten a chance to show off his acting skils in a different role yet. Forest Whitaker was great in Ghost Dog, The Great debaters, The Air I breathe, and The Crying game. However he is also in crap like Our Family Wedding.

I have to give my vote to Denzel. Even though Whitaker is a great actor as well, Denzel has more memorable performances (Remember The Titans, The Siege, American Gangster, etc).

Forest Whitaker. Denzel seems very one-dimensional. To his credit, though, he does an excellent "angry black man."

Denzel is excellent, dont get me wrong, but Whitaker just seems more capable.

Denzel has a FAR more impressive resume. It's not even close. I will say I loved Whitaker in The Last King of Scotland, but that's only one exceptional movie I've seen him in. Denzel has been in a ton of great movies I really loved, like John Q, Training Day, and Man on Fire. Man, Man on Fire is ON FIRE!

I think if more people had seen Ghost Dog then they might be more inclined to say Forest. Seems Like Denzel Just plays himself in all his movies.

I like Denzel a lot more. He's probably my favorite actor actually. It doesn't matter if he is a bit one dimensional; he does a damn good job in every movie he is in.

Not a fan of Denzel Washington to be honest, he's a good actor but he's just one of those guys that I will avoid movie she's in because I can't really stand him.

I give a slight edge to denzel. Loved him in training day and american gangster. I really liked forrest in vantage point and panic room
