Djimon Hounsou has 42 credits to his name and two Oscar nomination, usually plays an intimidating character but sometimes that misleads the character he portrays. A name that the casual film fans may not know but a face they will never forget. Today I look at my favorite 5 performances.
5. Vivo – Deep Rising

4. Albert Laurent – The Island
The hit man sent to stop the escaped clones before they uncover the truth, it is one of his more typecast roles but he does make it his own.
3. Henry Carver – Push

2. Solomon Vandy – Blood Diamond
