Two-time
Academy Award®-winning actor DENZEL WASHINGTON (
Robert "
Bobby" Trench) is a man constantly on the move. Never comfortable repeating himself or his successes,
Washington always searches for new challenges through his numerous and varied film and stage portrayals. From embittered runaway slave
Trip, in
Glory, to
South African freedom fighter
Steve Biko, in
Cry Freedom; from
Shakespeare's tragic historical figure
Richard III to rogue detective
Alonzo Harris, in
Training Day, Washington has amazed and entertained audiences with a rich array of characters distinctly his own.
Washington started off
2012 starring in
Universal Pictures' action-thriller
Safe House, directed by
Daniel Espinosa. The film opened to more than $40 million in its first weekend and was the second largest of
Washington's career. In his most recent role, Washington starred in
Robert Zemeckis'
Flight, for
Paramount Pictures. His performance in Flight brought him Academy Award®,
Golden Globe and
Screen Actors Guild nominations
.
In the spring of
2010, Washington made his return to
Broadway where he appeared opposite
Viola Davis in a 14-week run of
August Wilson's
Fences. His powerful performance as
Troy, a one-time baseball star turned sanitation worker who struggles to reconcile his past and present, earned him his first
Tony Award, as well as a Tony Award for both the play and
Davis. Also in 2010,
Warner Bros. Pictures released
Book of Eli, a postapocalyptic
Western that tells the story of one man's fight across
