Ok, So first post on the forum and i think the best one to begin with. What role do you think is Dennis Haysberts Best. I think it is between Jonas Blane(The Unit) and David Palmer(24). Jonas and Palmer have alot of qualities that are much the same, they are loyal and they dont bend to nobodys… More will. They are tough and dont let pain or pressure stop them on there mission. What do you guys think?
Attached is a great interview with Dennis Haysbert fromDecember 2006. http://www.cigaraficionado.com/Cigar/CA_Profiles/People_Profile/0,2540,236,00.html
I just saw the movie Goodbye Bafana over this past weekend. The film is about a white South African racist guard who worked at the prison where Nelson Mendela was held prisoner. The movie is about the relationship that is formed between the guard and Nelson Mandela. Nelson Mandela is portrayed by… More the very talented Dennis Haysbert. I highly recommend the movie to all Dennis Haysbert fans and to those interested in the Nelson Mandela plight. I think the movies release date in the States is December 14, 2007. Where I currently live the movie was released over the past weekend.
Welcome to the TV.com Forums for Dennis Haysbert. Here is your area to discuss, dissect and debate all things about this person.
Each week, we'll select a still photo from an as-yet-unaired TV episode and invite you, dear reader, to write the funniest caption you can muster. Up next: A shot from next Monday's episode of How I Met Your Mother.
DENNIS HAYSBERT is the heart and soul of the Unit. He is a dynamic actor who exhudes the leadership, power, trust, grit, loyalty, warmth and steely do whatever it takes to accomplish the mission strength! He is just what everyone would as a leader: a soldier would want as a commander: a family would want as a father. Mr. Haysbert has the quality we need so desperately, a person to look up to. A person to make us feel comfortable, that we are in able hands. As Senator McCain said in response to a question during the 2008 campaign: Would you consider the actions of "Jack Bauer" be considered torture?; "I hope there are a couple of "Jack Bauers" out there, for our sakes." If, the Unit is not picked up: Dennis should consider reprising his role from "24" President Palmer,but not on television, in the real world. Enter politics!
Dennis Haysbert is a awesome actor. His ability to play any role is mind blowing. I personally think he is one of the top male actors around. I would compare his career to " a bottle of wine" it just keeps getting better and better with time. I look forward to seeing him act in many roles to come. I especially loved his portrayal of the President David Palmer in "24". I love his current role in "The Unit". Though Dennis plays strong will roles you can still see the softer side of Dennis Haysbert within. Something's you just can't hide
Dennis tops the charts in everything he does. He was fantastic in the 24 series and I think he could win the Presidency in real life if he chose to run. The guy has that 'Midas Touch' on every show or commercial he appears in and I look forward to seeing what his newest challenge will be. 'The Unit' just wouldn't be a unit without his leadership and command. Dennis is every mans man; loves his wife, loves his country, loves his daughter and is strong & gentle at the same time. Too bad more of us couldn't be like him as fathers and leaders in our country. The men he portrays as an actor make the viewing audience feel safe in their own lives and personal feelings. We need more actors like him and more men in our country to stand up and be more like the characters he plays. Show responsibility, strength and honor in all you do.
This man is a great actor. I love him on the unit. He made a convincing pres on 24, and shoot, i even love him on the allstate commercials! He is just soo cool! He opens his mouth, and i listen. One of the best moments of the unit was when he hid down in Central America. He looked so stinking cool with those sunglasses on and the shaved head and goatee! He is the definition of Bad A-- (pardon that one... but i couldn't think of a better way to put it)
Excellent actor, deserves some awards for his role on the unit, that's for sure!
I was not familiar with Dennis. I only saw a couple of AllState Insurance commercial. That's all. Until I heard about him playing as a president in '24'. I'm not a fan of '24'. Thus, I had no idea who he was.
Until the next role on another show Dennis decided to land on. He sure does enjoy his character in the show. Being a tough leader with an elite special force team going around the world and hunt down terrorists. What's not to like. He's not just holding a gun and call it a day. Whatever he says on the walkie-talkie, added so much intensity and urgency in each given situation. His favorite motto 'How bout that', left fans breathless every time. His way of interrogating, questioning, coaching is so unique that I don't think anyone could have done the same.
