1. I can't even vote in my own damned poll
I was all set to vote for Dap ("School Daze" changed my life when I was 16) but I keep remembering how powerful Furious was in "Boyz in the Hood" and then I remember how much I hated him and how GOOD he was in "What Love Got to do With it."

That man has had a hell of a career.

3. Good choice, firedup. But I still can't decide!!
I keep leaning towards Dap but Furious was The MAN.

5. Great poll, Number23!
:hi:And a nice way to end the week :fistbump:

I had to go with Morpheus because I love sci-fiction and am a big Fishburne fan. He's always too real in his roles and I easily forget that I'm watching an actor. To think that he's been around since Apocalypse Now, 14years old playing a soldier, is just outstanding. I hope he has projects in the works coming out soon.

9. Wow! Apocalypse Now?? I had no idea!
That man must be 113 years old!! ;)

Believe me, this poll was a lot harder than I thought it would be. Morpheus is just a magnificent role, but he's had so many!

13. I have always loved that there were sooooo many black people in The Matrix
When you look at the last one, it was full of black folks! Trinity and Neo were just about the only whites. Even Cornell West was up in that joint!

The future looks very promising. :)
