This role does not bring the popular young actor.

After this work, he was noticed not only the audience, but also Hollywood filmmakers. In 1987, Washington plays a minor role in the film “Cry Freedom”, for which was nominated for the award “Oscar”.
And two years later, not only nominated actor, but also received the award “Oscar” for the execution of a supporting role in the movie “Glory.” As with any other actor award “Oscar” has become the most important point in the development of an acting career in Washington.

In 2001, Washington starred in the movie “Training Day” and won an Oscar “for Best Actor.” From this point, we can assume his career finally took place.

The boy was named in honor of his father-priest. Denzel was the middle of three children in the family: his mother worked in a beauty salon, and in his youth he, being there as an apprentice, helped her.

After the success of “Fame” (1989) Hollywood patented Washington as a positive action hero and drum.
