In a recent podcast interview, Aries Spears and Vlad analyzed performances in major films. They spoke highly of Fences, with one of them joking that Viola Davis’s dramatic performance was so powerful, it deserved an Oscar. They also debated whether Samuel L. Jackson could pull off a similar performance but concluded that Denzel Washington was a better fit for the lead. A surprising nugget of information shared was that Tupac Shakur was being considered for Star Wars and prior to his death, had been cast for the role in Independence Day that eventually went to Will Smith. Smith was praised for being one of the best rapper-turned-actors, with one critic describing him as the perfect mold of a movie star for his height, physique, and acting skill. Vlad and Spears discussed the difference between being an actor and a movie star, with figures like Denzel Washington and Robert De Niro being both. They closed off their conversation by discussing Johnny Depp’s stellar transformation in Black Mass.
