Denzel Washington vs James Earl Jones. Who did Fences best?

>>80050751
James Earl Jones felt more powerful

>>80050751
The laugh track ruins Denzel's clip

>>80050751
>James Earl Jones
>Scene is dead serious and captivating

>Denzel
>Audience is laughing and the acting is mediocre

James Earl Jones killed it.

>>80050751
Denzel is more natural and streamlined, laughter in background sucks tho

>>80050751
>the audience laughing at denzels part

anyone else get Mac from always sunny doing the musical

>Stop laughing at me
>Im going for gasps!

Jones had presence, intensity, I think he made the actor cry

Washington was like a comedian, both actors were, no intensity, made him seem way less intimidating than movies have made him seem

Jones wins for me

>>80050751
Jones acted the fuck out of that scene, goddamn. Denzel doesn't even begin to compare

even from the clip's image it looks like James Earl Jones' performance is an actual good play while Denzel looks like he's in a parody.

>>80050751
It's not a joke in the film version either so Denzel, because he can take the same lines and flip them in such different tones. That's acting talent.

>Because Denzel, when given instruction and afforded the gift of 100 takes, is a gifted actor

That's editting

Jones is acting

Washington is showing he relies on someone else to make him look good

How come he don't never like me man?

What kind of stupid ass question is that? JEJ acted the shit out of that scene, while the way Denzel dit it was SNL-tier.
