Personally I really think Will Smith iz way better, as you can see on the big screen he has portrayed many different characters and emotions, he's my inspiration, but Denzel seems to play the same role, and acting the same way, he bores me.....

I actually think Denzel is the better actor. He's played so many different types [Glory and Training Day were both totally against type]. He is usually given the good guy roles instead of the villians which I think he plays very well.
I love Will Smith, but he does exactly the same character in each movie. He has a presence that is entertaining but very rarely does anything outside of that range. [I admit I've yet to see Ali] He is fun to watch. He's what I call a movie star rather than an actor.
And Forest Whitaker has more talent than Denzel and Will put together.

I have to disagree, I think Denzel is the better actor. Will Smith is always saving the world in some far fetched fashion ( I Robot, I Am Legend, Men in Black I &II, even in Wild Wild West are all examples of this). At least Denzel's roles are tangible, and the Oscar speaks for it's self.

hi, well they both are great actors & they both have played different roles in the picture business. denzel has played the bad guy & the good guy like will smith has but will smith i think is a great actor & will be even better as the time goes on. but remember that denzel was the first to be congratulated on in the academy awards. but they both r very good actors. bb, nobrethequeen. also i could be wrong but it's really a very hard choice to make. so i say they both r even in the acting business

This is really a hard choice. Both are great actors. They put Denzel in basically one type of role but it is not necessarily his choice.That is his manager (or whatever he is). I think he could pull off about anything. Just like Will Smith. Denzel Washington can really make you believe the part he is playing.

Denzel is a much better actor, speaking spanish on Training day (which he won an oscar), Glory ,Man on fire,American gangster .No way is Will Smith on his level yet give him another 10 years maybe , he will be as good as Denzel then but now , No way.

Will Smith, because he plays in more TV shows then Denzel Washington.

Denzel Washington has acted on stage where there are no retakes. Smith hasn't.
No question there, Washington is the better actor.

Denzel played in Mississippi Masala, Much Ado About Nothing, John Q, The Preacher's Wife, Remember the Titans, and more. Seems you haven't viewed his FULL filmography.
He's 100 X better than Will any day.

Oh man this shouldn't even be a question. I think Will is a great actor but just watch all of Denzel Washingtons. He is a class act.
