Or Omar, that scar would have been a great for the story.

He has the chops, he just prefers not to risk anything. If it's not a summer blockbuster, don't even bother calling.

Anyone but Will Smith, never, ever cared for his work.

How about an actual credible actor, like say... Terrence Howard.

Fox is a much better actor.

WTF are you whores talking about? Will Smith is not only one of the highest grossing actors in the biz today, he's also one of the best. An A-lister in my book. He definitely runs the summer blockbuster ring, there's no doubting that, but to say he can't do much more is just bogus. He's probably the most versatile actor out right now as well. You want action? He does it, and does it well. You want comedy? He does it, and does it well. You want romance? He does it, and does it well. You want drama? He does it, and does it well. You want some not-so-serious fun? He does that, and does it better than anyone.

I'm telling you guys, Will Smith hasn't quite broken the stigma of being a goofy, rapper-turned-actor to everyone yet, but he's been a pretty damn good actor for a while now.

Who said he's not a good actor? What I said was, he doesn't take risks.

Well you said he doesn't bother with anything other than summer blockbusters, but two of his most recent films Seven Pounds and Pursuit of Happyness could hardly be qualified as summer blockbusters. Then durtyrute said he "couldn't pull it off". So I had to disagree.

There was absolutely nothing risky about either of those roles, other than risking boring everybody to death.

Can you give me some examples of risky roles, please?

Will Smith's good, but he's makes some of the safest choices in Hollywood.
He'd never take a role like this. I'm not sure he has the kind of chops necessary to make a character like "Django" believable.

I love Smith. I wish he would have taken a chance and said yes to this. I think hes always concerned about his image more than anything. BUt to be fair, Kurt Russel and a few others turned down parts in this. Probably due to the controversial nature of the material.

Smith is very image-conscious.
I can't knock the approach though.
It's made for one very impressive filmography.
