Denzil Washington - One of the good guys.

[REDZULU2003]

I had to mention this here because it had such an impact on me when it was aired on Friday night July 24th just gone.

The Jonathan Ross show here in the UK each Friday when he interviews famous people and on that show Denzil was on and I was amazed and taken back how genuine, down to earth, humble and respectful that man is

Mr Washington has to be one of the best down to earth famous people EVER ... he doesnt think he is anyone and if you watch the interview ... DO IT ... you will hear some fine words said.

At one point he makes one of the best speeches I've heard in my life to sum up what we should all do and that we all have something to give in this life, be it money, love, strength, ideas etc etc we all have SOMETHING to give and thats what its about and that is what took me it almost brought tears to my eyes! that someone like Denzil who is so famous can actually be so down to earth and careing, seeing through the thickness of the worlds outer shell and really getting it down to basics.

I've always been a fan of his but now I'm even BIGGER.

Denzel Washington is definitely seems like a genuine down to earth dude..especially when it comes to hollywood standards..he grew up about in a town about an half hour away from me..he gives to all kinds of charities...use his own money to build hospitals...help out the men and women in the armed forces and just seem like a decent person..

I agree with both of you.

But I think that the main question is, is he doing Penis Enlargement, and what is his size rofl
(ok...sorry about that...I just had to).

But seriously...many of actors and rock stars could have a huge effect for many unfairness in this world, not to even mention our presidents and leaders. However, there are just so few of them, who actually bother to try. World could be such a great place.

 

[REDZULU2003]

I have lots of time for the guy, he's someone we can all aspire to be.

 

[Uhhhh]

I saw that episode Denzel is the man. Quentin Tarantino was also in that. In the ending they did a scene where Tarantino came out of the green room and shot the guys that were standing next to the piano with a machine gun. That was pretty funny.

That's my NIGGA! CAUSE KING KONG AIN'T GOT SHIT ON ME!

 

[Benjamin Siegel]

That's my NIGGA! CAUSE KING KONG AIN'T GOT SHIT ON ME!

[elpichon3000]

Yep. There's bisquits and gravy up over there!

 

[Benjamin Siegel]

Yep. There's bisquits and gravy up over there!

Denzel Washington is pretty awesome. He's a topnotch actor and he has brought some class back into Hollywood. I saw those videos a couple weeks ago and was amazed.

Training Day was a great movie, but I'd say Man On Fire is my favorite Denzel Washington movie.

 

[newbie09]

is he just an actor or does he influece direction, storyline and production too?

 

[Phoenix22]

I'd imagine all actors (or at least experienced ones) can/do change parts in the script and play a role in the direction of the movie too. You got people who have been acting for decades and can bring the experience from dozens of movies to help with their current project.

 

[newbie09]

well, denzel always seems to be the perfect good guy in his movies. that is kinda fucked up. actors need to be shown differently too like in insomnia.

thats the first time if not the only time ive ever seen Robin Williams as a bad guy in a movie....in One Hour Photo he wasnt really a badguy, but a victim of a lonley life. i prefer actors that are chameleons in thier actin roles like Samuel L. Jackson or Forest Whitaker.

 

[twins172_up]

just saw street kings last night...i liked Forrest in that and also in The Last King Of Scotland..very good actor

His lazy eye annoys me He's a good actor, don't get me wrong, it's just that eye!

Christian Bale is another one of those fantastic actors. He actually lost about 70 pounds for his role in The Machinist.

yea hes great, that guy is so underated as an actor i think....and to think his first movie was Fast Times at Ridgemont High, with Sean Penn. Forrest was also in Bloodsport with Vandamme.

Christian Bale is another one of those fantastic actors. He actually lost about 70 pounds for his role in The Machinist.

yea Bale is another one whos on my chameleon list. i saw the Machinist (known as El Maquinista, in Spain where it was filmed) years ago and loved it....also the unique and classic American Psycho. ive always prefered real "actors" over movie stars.....Edward Norton is another one.

 

[REDZULU2003]

''This shits chess it aint checkers'' lol from Training day also which was fucking awesome acting.

hopkins - what ever he plays, he does is perfect

hopkins - what ever he plays, he does is perfect

He was amazing in Silence of the Lambs, and brought some of that back with Fracture.

 

[Benjamin Siegel]

all i have to say is Gary Oldman that guy puts to shame most of the hollywood A-listers and even some real "actors" too. that guy is the true actin chameleon of our time.


another guy is Val Kilmer, how many actors do you know that have played, Jim Morrison, Batman, and John Holmes all in one career.

 

[REDZULU2003]

Yeah Hopkins is a real class act and from Wales too. Lots of great actors past and present but my all time fav has to be TOM HANKS ... the guy for me just has something else. Apollo 13, the road to perdition, sleepless in seattle etc etc the guy can slip into the role and pull it off plus hes a sound geezer for sure, he won a close battle with Jack Nicholson who is another one of my fav actors and in the departed is on a fucking role!!!!
