I know him best for his role as Morpheus in the hit science fiction film series Matrix. He became the first African American to portray Othello in a motion picture by a major studio when he appeared in Oliver Parker's 1995 film adaption of the Shakespearean play.

I like him in Apocalypse Now,Death Wish II,Boyz n the Hood,Searching for Bobby Fischer,Higher Learning, Just Cause, Fled, Event Horizon, Mystic River, Assault on Precinct 13, Fantastic Four:Rise of the Silver Surfer and 21.
I can't wait to see him in the Movie Predators.
Then in 2011 "Contagion" is coming out, which may be good?

(Interesting Fact)
He earned a supporting role in Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now, in which he played a 17-year-old sailor nicknamed 'Mr. Clean'. But when production began in March 1976 he was just fourteen! Apparently he lied about his age to get the part. Filming took so long though that he was seventeen when the film was finally completed.
