Don Cheadle kicks more ass than any ten other actors you can name.
He should be in every movie from now on, and he should digitally inserted into every film so far that he wasn't actually in.

3. I'll get right on it.
Honestly, I've never seen him give a bad performance, or even an average performance.

I can't say for sure that he's under-rated, because I think he's routinely praised for his acting ability, but I believe that my plan to get him into every film is a more fitting tribute to his skill.

2. He could replace Michael Keaton...

...and the movie could be "Cheadlejuice".

Ew.

14. He could curl up in a ball on the floor...
and we'd call it the Cheadle position

4. Yes. But he shouldn't be inserted into Blazing Saddles

rather, they should remake the film or make a Blazing Saddles II.

6. Can he direct?
Because someone needs to remake Lord of the Rings into a watchable film.

7. He did produce Traitor
Loved that movie so he can produce. Not sure if he has ever directed or can direct.

9. I saw it the other night for the first time.
I was really surprised at how good it was, and how daring--in mainstream American cinema--to have a devout Muslim as the lead character.

I also thought that Guy Pearce was very good in his role.

8. I thought he was great in "The Rat Pack," which was a flawed and noble attempt at a great movie
I didn't really buy Ray Liotta as Sinatra. Loved him in "Goodfellas," even in "Unlawful Entry." Not so much in "The Rat Pack."

I thought Joe Mantegna was pretty believable as Dean Martin.

But Cheadle as Sammy? The Rat Pack was his show, he stole it, he owns it.

12. Tim Roth?!?
He couldn't even defeat an all-but-defeated Rob Roy! Don Cheadle would mop the floor with his Fox-Network-Loving posterior!

16. Some of the best acting I've seen Don Cheadle do was
in a recurring role as a resident with MS on 'ER'.

17. Yes! I was thinking of that earlier this week.
He inhabits his roles with such sincerity and honesty.

I'd love to see him in a straight-up screwball comedy.


Well, maybe not. But I'm sure that he'd kick ass in it.
