Mos Deef but he decided to do silly movies like that alien-space shit and the one wit Jack Black. he needs more serious roles. maybe another biopic would be good for him.

Tupac- would have been a great actor but we all know the tragic ending. He has some good roles under his belt and some bad movies but his GREATEST roles he just never got to see. imagine if Tupac was really cast in Menance II Societ?, im talking award winning shit.
Cuba Gooding jr- he sold out with all the wack comedies he did after Radio.
Kerry Washington & Taraji P Henson should be the best femake actors in Hollywood right now.
Idris Elba, Wodd Harris, and Marlo & Lil Chris from The Wire.

Derek Luke...Columbus Short stole that nigga shine
Lauren London, she was THE it girl after ATL, and even before fucking Lil Wayne, she really wasn't doing anything "Hollywoodish"
Allen Payne I mean I guess "House of Payne" is big time, but that shit was a ressurection..
Sanaa Lathan, Love and Basketball, starring role in the first AvP ...but nothing "big"..she seems to like lower budget films that don't challenge her acting ability..maybe she doesn't wanna live off her dad...
Evan Ross...ATL, and that movie with Queen Latifah, everyone was talking about him like he was next...but I think Chris Brown stole his roles...
I guess it was wishful thinking for me to expect any of these black actors to be "huge"..but they didn't even blow in terms of "black Hollywood"...some how, Taraji made it to the level I thought most of them would make it...whoever helps her pick her roles, or her agent (or both, unless they're the same person)..someone is helping her ass out...
I don't know too many white actors by name, but it doesn't surprise me when they don't blow because they're a dime a dozen and usually in hollywood, once your salary goes up, you get replaced, unless it's a franchise movie or the role is like "MADE FOR YOU"...like has your name all over it...one white person I thought would blow that didn't was Tobey Maguire ...dude is apart of the biggest superhero franchise of all time...and he has ZERO fan base, like people don't go "oh, Tobey Maguire's in this..I DEFINITELY gotta check it out"...
oohhh, and this dude named Alex Frost, he was in Elephant (based on Columbine) and Drillbit Taylor as the main bully, dude was being called the next Tom Cruise, had all these movies "in pre pro" and then disappeared...

Wood Harris was HORRIBLE in Next Day Air...nigga can't act
Idris Elba is the GO-TO black dude in Hollywood when the budget is too small for Will, Denzel or Jamie...
Taraji is THE black actress in hollywood...her and Zoe are the only 2 women of color allowed near a set it seems like...

I always though Edward Norton would get the hottest roles in industry. Dude is so talented, he should already own 2 Oscars. Mark Ruffalo is another one. as for ladies, I'm surprised Naomi Watts career didn't blew after "Mulholland Drive". She got some of interesting roles, even in blockbusters, but she's not a household name like less talented Scarlett Johanson.
