Sidney Dean

Wesley Snipes may have been in many sports related films, but Sidney Dean may have been the best one. As a street ball hustler, he showed us swagger (before we even used that as a word), trash talking, and intelligence in a package designed to drain buckets on the pavement. We will grant that Snipes was one half of what was a perfectly cast package, but though the fashions may date the film, Wesley’s role was timeless.



The Bullet Points:

Actor:
Wesley Snipes

Position Portrayed:
N/A

Himself

Why you should vote for him:
We could argue (and we are) that this is Snipes’ best sports related role.

Why you should not vote for him:
He was one half of a great equation (with Woody Harrelson) and would the film have worked without that chemistry?
