Trivia: Whoopi Goldberg hates the label of African American. To paraphrase her, "If you're born in America, you are American."
And I agree with her.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

I definitely prefer "black" but restrained fearing that somebody could find it offensive.

Re: Notable Afro-American actors
"Black" is superior to "African-American" on every level. It's one syllable versus seven, so on a linguistic basis it kicks booty. Also, how can you call Colin Powell, to pick an example, "African-American"? The guy's parents are from the Caribbean, not Africa. And what about black people from South America?
But the stake through the heart of "African-American," for this lemur, is the seven syllables when there's a perfectly good alternative that has but one syllable.

Some piously affirm: "The truth is such and such. I know! I see!"
And hold that everything depends upon having the “right” religion.
But when one really knows, one has no need of religion. - Mahavyuha Sutra

Re: Notable Afro-American actors
God forbid there are any blacks in counties like Canada or Britain. And what about the whites in South Africa? If they immigrate to America, are they still considered African-American and get the benefits of the NAACP?
