#10322 Denzel-Washington

Denzel-Washington - Denzel Hayes Washington, Jr. was born on December 28, 1954 in Mount Vernon, New York. He is the middle of three children of a beautician mother, Lennis (Lowe), from Georgia, and a Pentecostal minister father, Denzel Washington, Sr., from Virginia. After graduating from high school, Denzel enrolled at Fordham University, intent on a career in journalism. However, he caught the acting bug while appearing in student drama productions and, upon graduation, he moved to San Francisco and enrolled at the American Conservatory Theater. He left A.C.T. after only one year to seek work as an actor. His first paid acting role was in a summer stock theater stage production in St. Marys City, Maryland. The play was Wings of the Morning, which is about the founding of the colony of Maryland (now the state of Maryland) and the early days of the Maryland colonial assembly (a legislative body). He played the part of a real historical character, Mathias Da Sousa, although much of the dialogue was created. Afterwards he began to pursue screen roles in earnest. With his acting versatility and powerful sexual presence, he had no difficulty finding work in numerous television productions. He made his first big screen appearance in Ciemnoskóry duplikat (1981) with George Segal. Through the 1980s, he worked in both movies and television and was chosen for the plum role of Dr. Philip Chandler in NBCs hit medical series St. Elsewhere (1982), a role that he would play for six years. In 1989, his film career began to take precedence when he won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Tripp, the runaway slave in Edward Zwicks powerful historical masterpiece Chwala (1989).Through the 1990s, Denzel co-starred in such big budget productions as Raport Pelikana (1993), Filadelfia (1993), Karmazynowy przyplyw (1995), Zona pastora (1996) and Szalona odwaga (1996), a role for which he was paid $10 million. His work in critically-acclaimed films continued simultaneously, with roles in Malcolm X (1992) and Huragan (1999) garnering him Oscar nominations for Best Actor, before he finally won that statuette in 2002 for his lead role in Dzien próby (2001). He continued to define his onscreen persona as the tough, no-nonsense hero through the 2000s in films like Plan doskonaly (2006), Ksiega ocalenia (2010), Metro strachu (2009) and Safe House (2012). Cerebral and meticulous in his film work, he made his debut as a director with Antwone Fisher (2002); he also directed Klub dyskusyjny (2007). During this time period, he also took on the role of producer for some of his films, including Ksiega ocalenia (2010) and Safe House (2012).He lives in Los Angeles, California with his wife, Pauletta Washington, and their four children..
