Top 5 Spike Lee Performances

1. Mars Blackman - She's Gotta Have It (1986)

Spike Lee's Mars Blackmon is, hands down, one of my favourite characters, in any film. It is also one of his most notable roles, as Mars is a quick-witted, fast-talking, sports-loving Brooklyn native, who happens to be one third of Nola Darling's love interests in Spike's debut feature film 'She's Gotta Have It'. This is certainly one of Lee's most distinctive characters with his thick glasses and 18-carat gold medallion. Mars was so loved in fact that he went on to star in a number of commercials for Nike's Air Jordan trainers. You gotta love Mars Blackmon.
