I think he's one of the most underrated supporting actors of all time. He's make a huge impact on any film he's in whether it's a starring role, co starring or even a small role/cameo. He's in my favourite war film (apocalypse now) he's also in Francis Ford Coppola's most underrated film and his best 80s film (The Cotton Club Encore)

His 2 best performances imo were in Boyz n the Hood & What's love got to do with it. He should have won the Oscar for it.

He will probably be best remembered for his on screen duo with Keanu Reeves in the matrix trilogy and the John Wick franchise.

What do you think about Larry? Is he underrated? Under appreciated?

Do you only see Morpheus whenever he's bald?

 

[Wilmer Digreux]

Liked him in Pulp Fiction

 

[Tone C]

Liked him in Pulp Fiction

He was great in Shawshank too.

 

[traditionally_irreverent]

Don’t forget, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

 

[Streeter]

My favorite was deep Cover - very underrated movie as well

 

[ufcfan4]

He’s undoubtedly an awesome actor. As you said, he can enhance a movie whether he’s the lead, co-lead or a supporting performance. Eastwood’s Mystic River is stacked with quality actors but I feel like Fishburne steals every scene he’s in.

 

[lsa]

they all look the same to me

 

[syct23]

My favorite was deep Cover - very underrated movie as well

Is that the one his Daughter was in?

 

[Captain Tenneal]

His performance in Blade was spot on

 

[Streeter]

Is that the one his Daughter was in?

Dunno. It was him and Jeff Goldblum . .maybe best acting i have seen Goldblum do.

 

[spastikbecher]

The Signal - one of the most underrated sci-fi movies IMO and he was brilliant in it!

 

[roganisonly5foot3]

I thought he was great when he became a scientist later in life and started making those educational shows

[Fedorgasm]

My favorite was deep Cover - very underrated movie as well

Yessss! Also happens to be my favorite Jeff goldblum movie too.

 

[ROKKO]

Is that the one his Daughter was in?

I think it's great that his daughter caught the acting bug too! Although he's not happy!

 

[Kyler Ruxin]

the scene in deep blue sea where he gets eaten after giving that speech was kind of hilarious.

 

[Bullitt68]

Laurence Fishburne is the fucking man. Only someone as cool as him could play characters named Furious Styles, Socrates Fortlow, and Morpheus. He's never turned in a bad performance through the staggering number of movies and TV shows he's appeared in, and he's turned in some phenomenal performances. He was absolutely robbed of that Oscar for What's Love Got to Do With It, and the series Hannibal was ludicrously never nominated for anything but he should've gotten Best Supporting Actor nominations and probably should've won for the first or second seasons. Not to mention the amazing sci-fi horror classic Event Horizon. And his insane career goes all the way back to lying about his age to be in Apocalypse Now and playing Cowboy Curtis on Pee-Wee's Playhouse, which is actually where he met John Singleton, who worked as a PA on that show while studying at USC before he'd ultimately cast Fishburne in Boyz n the Hood and Higher Learning.

The Fish rules

 

[wh4tttt]

He did well opposite of Dr Weir's character in Event Horizon.

 

[GoodBadHBK]

He was absolutely robbed of that Oscar for What's Love Got to Do With It

Agreed. Angela Basset arguably should have won as well. 2 excellent performances.

 

[Bullitt68]

Agreed. Angela Basset arguably should have won as well. 2 excellent performances.

Philadelphia and The Piano - both shitty movies BTW - really fucked that Oscars up. Michael Douglas (Falling Down) and Demi Moore (Indecent Proposal) aren't even nominated in their respective best acting categories and I think that they deserved to be nominated more than the ones who fucking won. And yeah, Fishburne CLEARLY deserved that Oscar more than anyone else, while Basset outperformed her competition as well. But then the Oscars have never been about merit, so I try not to get too upset about them.
