Actors & Actresses Rankdowns 2.0 (Winner Posted)

Viola Davis' filmography is disappointing. That clip of hers that went viral where she talks about how she deserves to be as renowned as Meryl Streep but doesn't get the same opportunities as her is so true. Viola Davis is one of the greatest living actresses and yet I can barely scrap together 10 films, let alone 15, that need to be in the endgame. It's disgusting.

I've seen that clip like over a week ago and I appreciated her candor and boldness. I was expecting the comments to be mean but many were supporting her. She is an amazing actress and yet is severly underpaid while actors like Kevin Hart and The Rock get payed MILLIONS for mediocrity. And I say that as a fan of The Rock but mostly from his WWE days. Viola Davis is the black Meryl Streep but one day she will just be VIOLA DAVIS with no preface. :wub:

Agree! She's such a great actress and I feel like she really gets the roles she deserves on stage where she really got her start but it's definitely racism in the industry that her career doesn't have many of the same caliber of films that Meryl Streep has.
