Him and David Harewood, Captain Poison, did help each other shine. One as a ruthless rebel captain ordering limbs to be amputated and the other as a loving father wanting his son back.
The actors in Blood Diamond played incredibly well! This is without doubt Djimon's best performance, he was nominated but should have won the Oscar! For those who don't know, he won a lot of awards for this film but not the Oscar! The same goes for Leo! His Rhodesian accent earned him a nomination but for me it's also his greatest performance! I'm really disappointed that he won his Oscar for The revenant and not for Blood Diamond! It's not logical at all!
Imagine your first film being Amistad by Steven Spielberg and your second being Gladiator by Ridley Scott. This is a testament to the mans Talent as an actor.
He said it was his second movie AFTER Amistad, meaning he had done a movie between Amistad and Gladiator.. Amistad wasn't his first film.. He'd done a few before
For some reason, his face is just so memorable and it's always pleasure to see him in a movie. It's a shame he doesn't get bigger roles, he's charismatic and awesome actor
Djimon seriously needs more roles than what he's getting and not just these small cameos. I love when he plays the villains but I'd love to see him in more good guy roles. He's such an unrated actor.
I dont think he wants to really be a big actor like he can be. He already is very memorable. Even if no one can remember his name. We know his presence.
@@AnAdorableWombat Yea just saw A Quiet Place 2 and his presence was very memorable. So much so that I had to google him because I knew I recognized his face
Djimon is a true legend. Unfortunately, his talents are deeply underrated, and I wish people would cast him in more dramatic roles that get to showcase his talent outside his blockbuster roles.
He is so prestigious and talented and he knows so much about film, he understands creativity. He knows what it takes. I would love for him to direct or write a movie of his own. I’m drawn in by him.
Ever since I saw Blood Diamond, Djimon became one of my favorite actors. I’ll watch anything he’s in. I’m still sour Marvel wasted him in a throwaway role in GOTG, when he should’ve been in Black Panther.
His performance in Blood Diamond was just unbelievable, he was robbed blind of an Oscar. Way better performance than Arkin let's be honest. But as usual Oscars giving pity oscars and not one's for people who deserve it. Hopefully he gets another crack at an Oscar role he is such an underrated actor.
I love it when he pops up in comic book movies, He's become kind of a staple of the genre. I remember reading that if Tim Story had been able to make a third fantastic four movie, he would have been his choice for black panther. That would have been cool to see.
I was literally just watching him in F7 of the FF franchise and was saying to my family how he’s in every huge franchise yet he was still very underrated.It’s like he’s been blessed to always be working however he’s never given THE lead role..always supporting lead/character roles.That needs to change,expeditiosly.
I'm glad he never took any Role that would've Shortsighted or Slighted his Career. Djimon always impressed me since Amistad, Gladiator and seemed to take Roles that only Stretched, Challenged and Proved what an Amazing, Versatile and Brilliant Actor he is. Only recently I learned he was in the Janet Jackson video -- and that blew me away knowing he started as a Model -- bc he's SO much more Worldly, Intelligent, Well-Spoken and has much Depth -- compared to all the Models and most Actors of Today. Well Done.
What about his character in Beauty Shop?? The sweet guy who helps Queen Latifahs character and falls in love with her and her daughter. I'm really miffed they didn't touch on that one. It really showed his soft side of how he is as a person as well as an actor.
@@cmurphy0707 That's pretty sick, he definitely has a presence, which is why I was pretty disappointed that he was wasted in the MCU as Korath the Pursuer. He should have been saved for a bigger role.
I really love Djimon in all his roles! He does a great job and he's a very likeable guy! Gladiator always a favorite and he was definitely such a massive highlight of it's success as well. Definitely deserves too keep on having good roles and even some big ones.
My first time seeing him was in a small family drama called In America. I was only ten when I watched it, and it was one of my first 'grown up' films. It's only after rewatching it recently that I could really appreciate just what a talent this man is. His performance stuck with me over the years. I highly recommend the film to anyone.
The actors in Blood Diamond played incredibly well! This is without doubt Djimon's best performance, he was nominated but should have won the Oscar!
