Named the greatest actor of this century by The New York Times, Denzel Washington is a master of understated, sophisticated performances — or totally commanding the screen when the project demands it.
The two-time Oscar winner (Best Supporting for 1989’s Glory and Best Actor for 2001’s Training Day) can seemingly do anything, from a Tony Award-winning turn in Fences on Broadway to starring in bang-up action thrillers, including the upcoming The Equalizer 3.
He’s played everyone from Malcolm X to Richard III to an alcoholic pilot in Flight to Macbeth (above, in The Tragedy of Macbeth) to a cop-turned-DA in the underrated ’90s action thriller Ricochet. And he shows no signs of slowing down. He’s back this year in the long-awaited Gladiator II, directed by Ridley Scott.
