Don Cheadle

Don Cheadle holds a special place among actors because he has collected major honors across every corner of entertainment. His two Golden Globes, two Grammys, and Tony Award put him close to EGOT status with only the Oscar missing from his wins column. What makes his record stand out is the range. He earned an Oscar nomination for carrying the harrowing true story in Hotel Rwanda. He helped produce a Best Picture winner with Crash. He created, directed, and starred in Miles Ahead while pulling double duty on the soundtrack that later won a Grammy. His Tony came from producing the groundbreaking musical A Strange Loop. Few performers match this mix of leading dramatic roles, franchise stardom in the MCU, and creative control behind the camera. His steady output since the late 1980s and his ability to disappear into every character continue to earn respect from fans and peers alike.
