Denzel Washington was born to act. Did you know his mother named him after the doctor who delivered him? Denzel deserves every ounce of respect.
He started his career humbly. Washington came to fame after countless years of hard work. The actor displays brilliance in films such as John Q.
Denzel doesn’t mind playing the villain. In fact, he loves to play the antagonist. That’s why he thrived in American Gangster and Training Day. He turned down a chance to play Dr. Martin Luther King. Denzel decided to portray Malcolm X in a Spike Lee joint.
He gave a noteworthy performance in Flight. His characters are believable and relatable. Washington has no problem taking on difficult assignments.
If you twist my arm and I had to choose his best movies, I’d go with John Q, then Inside Man. Book of Eli, Taking of Pelham 123, and Remember the Titans round out my top five. All his movies are great.
Let’s discuss the Great Debaters. Denzel Washington presents his gifts in this dramatic film. Washington goes back and forth with Forrest Whitaker. Also, Oprah Winfrey helped finance the movie.
Washington won Academy Awards for Glory and Training Day. My other favorites are Man on Fire and Deja Vu. Have you seen 2 Guns or Equalizer?
Denzel Washington doesn’t star in bad films. He is a bankable movie star. The critics love him. Actors enjoy working with him. He brings the X factor to every movie. How does he do it?
