Дензъл Уошингтън

Дензъл Уошингтън се ражда на 28 декември 1954 година в Маунт-Върнън, щата Ню Йорк, САЩ, и израства като средното от трите деца в семейството.

Баща му е служител в църквата, а майка му работи във фризьорски салон. От баща си Дензъл научава за театралната игра, а в салона, където работи майка му, слуша слуша с часове истории, които развиват в него интерес към изкуството на разказа. Но бракът на родителите на Уошингтън свършва, когато момчето е на 14 години.

След като завършва училище, Уошингтън постъпва в университета „Фордъм” в Ню Йорк. През 1977 той завършва висшето си образование като бакалавър по журналистика. Докато учи в университета, Уошингтън участва активно в студентския театър. Затова след завършването се отправя към Сан Франциско, за да продължи образованието си в Американската театрална консерватория (American Conservatory Theater).

По това време започва да се снима в телевизионни филми, което му носи определена известност. След само една година в Американската консерватория я напуска, за да дебютира в киното през 1981 с филма "Carbon Copy". Тази роля не носи популярност на младия актьор.

Първото признание на зрителите Уошингтън получава с играта си в телевизионния сериал "St. Elsewhere", в който се снима в продължение на 6 години, от 1982 нататък. Забелязват го не само зрителите, но и холивудските кинопроизводители. През 1987 Уошингтън играе второстепенна роля във филма "Cry Freedom" и получава номинация за „Оскар”.

Само две години по-късно Дензъл не само е номиниран, но и получава „Оскар” за изпълнението на второстепенна роля в „Слава". Както и за всеки друг актьор, наградата на Академията става най-важния момент в развитието на кариерата му. Той вече е в списъка на водещите актьори на Холивуд, а количеството на ролите му в киното рязко нараства.

Сред следващите успешни работи на актьора са изпълненията му във филми като: „Версия Пеликан" (1993); „Филаделфия" (1993), където играе заедно с Том Ханкс; „Дявол в синя рокля" (1995); „Ален прилив" (1995); „Колекционерът" (1998), в който главните роли изпълняват Уошингтън и Анжелина Джоли.

Актьорът е номиниран още два пъти за „Оскар” за изпълнението на главни роли във филмите "Malcolm X" (1992) и "Ураганът" (1999). По това време хонорарите му вече са прехвърлили границата от 10 млн. $.

През 1995 Уошингтън се пробва и като продуцент, а през 2001 става режисьор на филма "Finding Fish".

През 2001 година играе главната роля във филма "Тренировъчен ден" и получава „Оскар” за най-добра мъжка роля. От този момент кариерата му вече може да се смята за напълно успешна. След още един режисьорски опит – „Антоан Фишър” - Дензъл Уошингтън продължава да прави запомнящи се роли в силни филми: „Почти невинен”, „Манджурският кандидат”, „Мъж под прицел”, „Човек отвътре”, „Déjà vu”. От 1982 актьорът е женен за Полет Пирсън. Двамата имат 4 деца: син Джон Дейвид (роден през 1985), дъшеря Катя (р. 1988) и близнаците Малкълм и Оливия (р. 1991).

Оле майко - бас, че и самия той не може да се опиша така

Прав си.
П.П.Дензъл Уошингтън не играеше ли във сериала "24",където сега го дават по нова ТВ?

Не...

Само тези филми ми харесват с него... :
Inside Man (2006)
Deja Vu (2006)
MAN ON FIRE (2004)
Training Day (2001)
Remember the Titans (2000)
Нещо не ми харесва как играе в повечето филми, не знам защо. Но в тези горните наистина си играе добре и като цяло е много добър актьор. Но на мен не ми харесва...

Мн Добър Актьор!

Добър актьор, повечето му роли ми харесват как са изиграни ( от това,което е гледано де...) XD
