...Mos Def - Good Bamboozled & Something The Lord Made are a couple of his acting works that stand out for me. One of the very few who I believe could make it as an actor based on skill and not just due to the fact that he's a music celebrity. tA  Tribal Disorder

http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 I saw him in Topdog/Underdog years ago and he held his own and I was a fan of him as an actor from then on. Also shows good comedic skills in Be Kind Rewind. I'm a fan of: Mos Def Babs Harry Connick Jr. Vanessa Williams Queen Latifah Will Smith Cher Diana Ross Bette Midler Audra McDonald Mark Wahlberg I think they're all good solid actors.

Mariah Carey changed my view in Wise Girls and from what I've seen from Lee Daniels' Push, she might seal the deal for me to the better  | |

Ludacris-He was damn good in "Crash" Was not at all the "Luda" we'd come 2 know Ice Cube (tends to play mostly variations of himself)- Did u see "Three Kings"? Even in Player's Club he was pretty sinister Justin Timberlake (not a great actor by any means but knows his niche) LL Cool J-Did u see Any Given Sunday or In Too Deep?

I like Tim but don't know how good he is yet. Which reminds me, I'll throw in Dwight Yoakam as good. Justin has potential.

I though Lee Daniels directed her in Tennessee, though if I'm correct she is also in the movie Push which comes out tomorrow. I haven't seen Wise Girls since it went straight to video, and while the reviews of her performance were quite good, the movie itself was considered just so-so. Besides Glitter, I've only seen her in The Bachelor (the late 90s comedy with Chris O'Donnell, not the reality series) and You Don't Mess With The Zohan with Adam Sandler. If she really is as good as people say she is in Push and Tennessee, then I would move her up on the list. | |
