One of Hollywood's most prolific actors for real-life historical features, Denzel Washington began his career in theater before being cast in a TV movie in the late 70s and moving into film. The mid-90s marked a sharp increase in high-profile roles for Washington thanks to appearances in Philadelphia, The Pelican Brief and Crimson Tide. Behind Sidney Poitier, Washington is the second African-American to receive a best actor academy award.
