Silly comparison. They are both great. And Freeman is older, hence a more depthful body of work.

Denzel!

Laurence Fishburne.

Why must I choose?

Denzel Washington OR Morgan Freeman what? If you are talking acting, I have followed Denzel's carrier since he was on Saint Elsewhere as a slightly over-weight Intern (Howie Mandel also played an Intern on that show). He has given us many great movies with great stories. One of his best was "The Fallen" where he plays detective Dobbs who has garnered the wrath of a bodyless demon. Another great movie of his was "The Mighty Quinn" wherein he plays a Caribbean Island police chief. My favorite scene is where he gets "shit-faced" drunk and sings in a bar while playing a piano. That guy has made many, many really great and captivating movies all with great story lines. Another one that comes to mind is when he played a returned home SAS Paratrooper in Britain and the prejudice he faced in his neighborhood by the local police because he was Black.

I like both. please don't make me choose !
