In last place) I find Jack Black fairly devoid of wit, in his shouty-ness. For this reason I am not overly amused, and sometimes somewhat offended by his manner.

In second) I find Will Smith marginally less devoid of wit, in his shouty-ness. He doesn't offend me.

And you know, Carlton was funny.

I felt I had no choice but to go for the sauce, as none of the others add any flavour to my stews and soups.

Jack Black = Awesome comedian, very talented muscian (Tenacious D anyone?) and is still fairly awesome.
Will Smith = Awesome comedian/action hero. Is also a sell out. Not much else.

Damn, and I was hoping the sauce wouldn't win.
You seriusly need to stop having unrealistic expectations, man.

Comparing Jack Black to Will Smith is like comparing a dildo to a whoopee cushion. They just don't fall into the same category.

Oh, and sauce is obviously the answer.
Well, they're both musicians/actors. Or at least pretty loose definitions of both.
I read that the wrong way, now I need brain bleach. :(

I had to go with sauce. Jack is a great musician, but a crappy actor. Will Smith is a scientologist.

Maybe instead of saying better actor I should have said better overall.

Sauce.

I don't like it when an actor plays exactly the same character every. single. freakin. time.

Some others I'd add to the list:

Keanu Reeves (Ted Theodore Logan)
Jim Carrey (Ace Ventura)

Not that they haven't done the occasional good movie or the occasional different character. I rather liked Truman Show for example. But when I look at Will Smith I just think "aw hell naw" as he punches an alien / robot / couple a guys who were up to no good.

A part of this may be extreme levels of typecasting. Where the director or writer or whoever wants the actor because the actor plays a certain character.

Although with Reeves it feels more like he just isn't a very expressive actor.
With Carrey it just seems like he really enjoys the persona of the "wild and crazy Fire Marshall Bob" or "The Mask" or "Ace Ventura" or whatever that movie was where he couldn't lie.

And Jack Black just plays Jack Black. That's all. If they wanted someone to play themselves they could have gotten anyone. That doesn't take acting chops, it just takes a weird personality. And that's fine for a movie or two, but Black has milked that shit for far too long.

So I chose sauce.

He became involved in a single minor altercation, and his mother became frightened for his safety, sending him to live with his parent's sibling and sibling-in-law in a wealthy suburb in Southern California.

After never honoring his promise to a cabbie, the man became an addict and died two years later of a massive overdose on twinkies. His last words were 'He never smelled me laaagh...."

And then Jack Black backs away, frowning and pressing his chin into his neck, both hands palm-forward, saying "Hey man, relaaaax"
Will Smith just says "Aw hell naw!" and beats him again. Then possibly lights a cigar.

The two are equal, I could never decide between the two.

Except that I did in the first post, sorry bro.
