The Preeminent: Denzel Washington


Denzel Washington
in The Tragedy of Macbeth


I sort of remember watching St. Elsewhere when I was a kid but it was hen I got a little older that I really crushed over cast members David Morse and Denzel Washington. Although both actors went on to impressive film careers, it was Washington who became a movie star.  


With his nomination this year for Tragedy of Macbeth, Washington joins the list of most nominated Academy Award actors.  Although Meryl Streep tops the female list, Washington is listed along with; Paul Newman, Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Peter O'Toole, Dusting Hoffman, Jack Lemmon, Jack Nicholson, Spencer Tracy and Lawrence Olivier in the male best and best supporting categories. Washington is the only actor of color on the list. Washington has already won twice, once for Glory in 1990, and again for Training Day in 2002.


Given his impressive acting resume, I knew it was Mr. Washington's turn for my Actors & SKIN series.  Check it out on the NEXT PAGE HERE:
