Denzel Washington Movies Entertain Endlessly

By Denzel Smith

As a well-known actor, portraying many different facets of life though his acting career, Denzel Washington movies find him playing police officer or career criminal and maybe a little of both and he never ceases to entertain.

Denzel Hayes Washington Jr. Was born on the 28th of December in 1954. He was raised by a beautician mother and a father who was pastor. His original career goal was that of a journalist, but the acting bug took him by surprise.

Appearing in a few minor roles for TV, he got his first big screen break acting alongside George Segal in the 1981 movie Carbon Copy. His true big break came, not from movies, but on television for the TV show, St Elsewhere. He was a regular member of the cast for six years, where he continued acting in movies such as The Mighty Quinn and For Queen and Country. These roles led to his next feature film in the movie Glory for which he won an Oscar, he would later win another Oscar for his portrayal of a bad cop in Training Day.

Very often his strongest roles are those in which he portrays real people. American Gangster, The Hurricane, and Remember the Titans were all movies based on real life. There are also those roles in which he is a man whose mind is tricking him, such as those in Fallen and Deja Vu.

Lots of Denzel movies feature him in a role of authority, playing high ranking officers and military roles. In both Virtuosity and Crimson Tide, he portrayed a lieutenant, but in his role for He Got Game, he was a bad father out of prison, trying to get over on his son the basketball player, in exchange for a shortened prison stint.

There have been numerous films in which Denzel has starred and given bright performances that do not translate to box office results. Purchasing or renting Denzel Washington movies are a good investment when there is time to watch the master. - 40731
