Denzel Washington
Get dazzled by Denzel
Denzel Washington is an Academy Award and Golden Globe-winning American actor and director. He has garnered much critical acclaim for his work in film since the 1990s.
In 2005, after a 15-year hiatus (he was last seen in the summer of 1990 in the title role of the Public Theater's production of Shakespeare's Richard III) , Washington appeared onstage again in another Shakespeare play as Marcus Brutus in Julius Caesar on Broadway. The production's limited run was a consistent sell-out, averaging over 100% attendance capacity nightly.
