At 67, Denzel Washington is a blockbuster legend with a never-ending list of accolades. He has two Academy Awards and is the most nominated Black actor in Oscars history. Here are his best performances
“Denzel” — like Bono or Prince, the sheer mention of the mighty figure doesn’t require a surname. The industry-given mononym implies adoration and respect; yet in selecting the best performances of his career to celebrate the actor, director and producer’s birthday, narrowing such a body of work down is far more daunting than suspected.
My earliest recollection of Denzel Washington’s cinematic endeavors came with the action-thriller “Ricochet” . He portrayed a cop-turned-district attorney being terrorized by one of his former foes, played by John Lithgow. However, I wouldn’t start to understand his talents until a high school teacher brought in a double VHS cassette copy of Spike Lee’s “Malcolm X” . After that, my outlook on acting was never the same.
Washington, 67, has a never-ending list of accolades. He has two Academy Awards — supporting actor for “Glory” and lead actor for “Training Day” — and is the most nominated Black actor in Oscars history. His other noms include “Cry Freedom” , “Malcolm X,” “The Hurricane” , “Flight” , “Fences” and “Roman J. Israel, Esq.” .
It’s not just about acting with Washington, as he’s also been a consistent box office phenomenon worldwide, grossing more than $3 billion. His biggest hits have included “The Pelican Brief” with Julia Roberts, “Crimson Tide” with Gene Hackman, and his most financially successful feature, “American Gangster” from director Ridley Scott.The holidays have brought a double-dose of Washington.
Washington also helmed his fourth directorial feature, “A Journal for Jordan,” from Sony Pictures. Based on the best-selling novel and adapted by Oscar-nominated screenwriter Virgil Williams , the tearjerking drama stars Michael B. Jordan and Chanté Adams.: “Mississippi Masala” “Crimson Tide” , “Flight”
