Here's an easy one... (or five)

Ayy yo,

Welcome back to the grind.  I'm still in mourning over here regarding the passing of Gary Coleman this past weekend so I'm gonna take it easy and not think or work too hard today.  I believe Gary would have wanted that for me.  So having said that...

Name your top five:

Actors:

5.  Danny Glover - true actor's actor right there

Actresses:

1.  Halle Berry - she's even better when she keeps her clothes on
2.  Taraji P. Henson - shocked me that she was that dayum good
3.  Loretta Devine - those big eyes of hers work magic on screen

Actors:

 

1.  Denzel Washington - Still act rings around anyone out there. Yeps...He tore it up in Malcolm X
2.  Jamie Foxx - Anyone that can play a part better than the real person has it going on!!! He killed it in Ray and is simply multi-talented.
3.  Johnnie Depp - Very versatile...loved his old movies before all of the
     fantasy flicks.

5.  Jamie Foxx...when he ain't singin or actin or something else!

Wanda Sykes is maaaaaaaaad funny, Yo.  I may need to rethink my list of comedians. 

However, Jamie Foxx would have made my top 5 actors list but over the weekend I happened to catch about 15 minutes of that bull**** Hold Up movie he did with Nia Long a few years back and I had to knock him out of the running on that alone.
