[quote=Anonymous]To the above poster, I think that’s mixing a few things together. Eddie and Denzel really weren’t competing for the same roles in the 80s. Hollywood didn’t see them as interchangeable at all. Eddie was the biggest comedy star on the planet, while Denzel was coming up through serious dramatic and theater-based roles. Poitier wasn’t saying Eddie couldn’t do drama, he was warning him about typecasting and the industry’s limited imagination at the time. Eddie later proved he could handle dramatic work (Dreamgirls). He talked about how he really enjoyed the role because he had never done anything like it before, it was different for him. Denzel and Eddie valued different things. Denzel built his career around dramatic legacy. Eddie built one around independence, and staying power. Neither is wrong, they’re just different paths. [/quote]
