Portraying many different roles throughout his acting career, Denzel Washington movies find the well known actor taking on roles such as police officer, criminal and a combination of them both, but he never stops entertaining.
Denzel Hayes Washington Jr. Was born December 28, 1954 in Mt Vernon, NY. His father was a minister, his mother a neighborhood beautician. He originally wanted to be a journalist, but took a detour when acting called out to him.
After a few small television roles, his big break came in the 1981 movie Carbon Copy starring George Segal. The biggest break in his career was not from movies, but on a television show called St Elsewhere. He acted a cast member for six years on the show while working on the movies The Mighty Quinn and For Queen and Country. These roles led to his next movie, which was Glory, for which he was awarded an Academy Award for his part. He would go on to pick up a second Oscar for his portrayal of a corrupt cop for the movie Training Day.
his main strength lies his biographical portrayals of real people. The films Remember the Titan, American Gangster, and The Hurricane are all reality based films.
Many films show Denzel as a figure of authority, often portraying detectives and military based roles. In both Virtuosity and Crimson Tide, he held the title of Lieutenant, but for his role in He Got Game he was a neglectful father, let out of prison for a brief time in an attempt to shorten his prison sentence by manipulating his basket ball playing son.
There have been numerous films in which Denzel has starred and given bright performances that do not translate to box office results. Purchasing or renting Denzel Washington movies are a good investment when there is time to watch the master. - 40728
