    --------
    DL Hughley reacted to Michael Jai White suggesting Samuel L. Jackson could play almost every role Denzel Washington. DL Hughley praises Jackson as a great actor but maintains that Washington has a unique repertoire, mentioning iconic roles in which he played roles more convincingly than any other actor. The conclusion seems to be that both actors possess unique strengths and cannot be directly compared.

    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.

    1st of all I ❤ both Samuel L Jackson & Denzel Washington. Both are ICONIC!!! However, IMHO I think that both gentlemen should have Multiple Oscars. Denzel was robbed from winning an Oscar w/ Malcolm X & Hurricane. Samuel L Jackson should have an Oscar for Pulp Fiction, Django, Jackie Brown & possibly more. I can say that both gentlemen were Tailor made for their roles.

    Both Denzel and Sam can play any of each others roles; talent wise. Appropriate wise is another story. It would just be a different version of the portrayal. At the end the right actor got the role. Now Jai White as Tyson was miscast, a Sonny Liston film would’ve suited him more. He was fair as Spawn and that’s about it.

    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.

Iwe're being honest, Denzel pretty much played a sophiscated guy in Training Day also. He was smart and if you look at it objectively was he really a bad guy? Robbing and getting rid of drugs dealers/ Role was more heroic than people realize. Really wasn't a stretch for him

Except A Time to Kill, Long Kiss Goodnight and Fresh. Maybe some others but he usually plays the "angry funny black guy" in every role since the first time I have seen him in since Coming to America...

Samuel L Jackson can surely do those roles that denzel take, I can see Samuel on training day but denzel just adds that “thing” that nobody else can

      Those two roles are probably the most generic roles of both of their careers. At least if we don't count some small indie movies. Like they did great job in the roles but I think there is atleast a couple of dozen actors who could have replaced them. Like Samuel can't really cuss or freak out because its a family movie and is just mildly annoyed for five minutes and gets killed of screen. In Richochet Denzel is just a generic thriller cop acainst a crazy psycho. I think the only reason they could not switch with each other in my mind is that Samuel is never going to get shredded for any role like Denzel did for that movie.
