In this clip, Michael Jai White and Vlad discuss who they view as the number one Black actor. Denzel Washington is brought up, and while respected, they explore the concept of Samuel L. Jackson having far more range, as he could potentially play most of the roles Denzel has been cast for, with the exception of Malcolm X. Moreover, they consider the roles that Denzel might not be able to take on, such as those Jackson played in iconic movies like Pulp Fiction. However, they also address the fact that Jackson always maintains his innate persona in his roles, a comment often made about Denzel as well. The concept that an actor's versatility should be prioritized above their ability to embody a character entirely is discussed.
