Don Cheadle was the # 30 most connected actor of the 2000’s.
Good actor, I think the first time I noticed Don was as the main villain in Out of Sight, the scene where he coldbloodedly crushes a bag of goldfish in his hands while Albert Brooks watches horrified, still lingers in the memory.
Looking at the chart I’ve seen 22 Don Cheadle movies. Favorites are all the Marvel Movies, Ocean’s 11, Out of Sight, Crash, Traffic, Swordfish, Colors, Boogie Nights, Mission to Mars and Hamburger Hill.
Top rated films I haven’t seen are Hotel Rwanda and Devil in a Blue Dress.
Good stuff Bruce. Vote Up!
Don is credited by IMDB with a fine 34 acting awards and 103 noms and he has a reported net worth of $35 million. He has had an extensive TV career as well as a first-class movie one and is paid $150,000 per TV episode.I have seen 7 of his movies-
Iron Man 3
Family Man
Flight
Out of Sight
Bulworth
Devil in a Blue Dress
Things to do in Denver.
Flight would be my personal favourite among that 7 so I am pleased to see it being credited with a 78% rating and healthy worldwide gross of nearly $185 million.
Don is a high-profile humanitarian activist and for example along with fellow-actor George Clooney was presented in 2007 by the Nobel Peace Prize Laureates with The Summit Peace award for Don and George’s work to stop the genocide and relieve the suffering of the people of Darfur . Accordingly this comprehensive new page is “Voted Up!” and highly so.
Don Cheadle is # 429 on the December 15, 2018 Oracle of Bacon Top 1000 Center of the Hollywood Universe list, these are the actors on the list he has appeared with.

Hey Dan. As always thanks for sharing this information. Good to see that Don Cheadle is in the Top 500. He has been a very busy actor over the last twenty years. The first list (which is massive)….the Avengers co-stars are well represented on the list. I would imagine that as time passes that….he work his way into the Top 100. As for the second list…31 Oscar winning co-stars is about average. Both lists offer up a ton of interesting trivia. Good stuff.
I saw 19 including 10 of top 11. 10s and favourites: oceans 11, oceans 13, 10 not favourite: traffic. 9s: bulworth, crash, swordfish(hyper violent). hotel Rwanda is a fabulous Cheadle performance, too dark to recommend an 8, hidden gems: reign over me 8, traitor 8.
I love this guys acting despite a career noteworthy for small roles in high dollar box office vehicles.
may be in top 10 all time African american actors: m freemans,portierWashington, l fishburn,s Jackson, e murphy, d glover, james earl jones , forest whitaker, w smith. comers boseman, ejiofor, elba. just missed pryor, snipes, Belafonte. others? help me.
Hey bob cox. 19 Don Cheadle movies is almost half of his total. I have seen 37 of movies. Though I admit…I barely remember Moving Violations…..about the only thing I remember about that movie is Bill Murray’s younger brother trying real hard to be Bill Murray. I liked Ocean’s Eleven…not so much with Ocean’s Thirteen…though 13 is way better than Ocean’s 12….though it does have a solid Bruce Willis cameo. I agree with you about Hotel Rwanda….good but hard to recommend. Good Top 10. Happy to say we have UMR pages on every single person you mentioned. The only people I think you have left off one be…Jamie Foxx (Oscar winner), Paul Robeson and Billy Dee Williams. Good stuff as always.
great catch on my Jaime foxx miss. I would knock out james earl jones and Samuel Jackson and add Cheadle and foxx. bottom of list is eddie murphy but I love him.
