Outstanding Afrio-American Man – Denzel Washington-2

Here, we continue to tell about Denzel Washington enrolled in several movies where he was completely sympathetic when turning to more heroic roles. Name “Remember the Titans”(2000) as a coach struggling to erase the gap between two different skin colored football team or in “John Q”(2002) as a father fighting for his son’s heart transplant when the insurance failed to be claimed. Heart breaking but still, they were probably not the right roles for him, to the extent that it was more suitable for him to play a mysterious cop in “Training Day”(2001). The crime thriller film might give him a typical role but it certainly brought him a greater present, another Oscar winning for Best Actor in a Leading Role. Reacting to the second winning he said, “People say ‘congratulations, you finally got the Oscar’, and I have to correct them: ‘actually, it’s my second one. I won for Glory in 1989.’ Some people say ‘Yeah, but that was for a supporting actor role’ but for me, it’s the same thing.” more »

Outstanding Afrio-American Man – Denzel Washington

Here, we tell another outstanding Afrio-American man – Denzel Washington. There have been very few actors over the past two decades who can claim to be as influential and respected as Denzel Washington. Sure, he’s won a humungous amount of awards for his work (two Academy Awards, three nominations and at least fifty other awards), makes millions of dollars, and is incredibly attractive to the opposite sex, but there’s a quality he possesses that is more import than any of these: integrity.

A devout Christian, Washington is well-known for not partaking in any of the usual shenanigans that Hollywood stars are partial to. He’s been happily married to his wife, Pauletta, since 1983 and has four children, the eldest of which is a professional American footballer. He is protective of his image – in a country that seemingly prizes celebrity above all else, Washington is an example of a popular figure whose public and private lives are kept distinctly separate. more »

Outstanding Afrio-American Men – Morgan Freeman-3

Here we continued to tell about Morgan Freeman. His best year came in 2005, when he won his Oscar for Million Dollar Baby. Freeman played Eddie “Scrap-Iron” Dupris, an ex-fight-er who helps trainer Frankie Dunn (Eastwood) develop waitress Maggie Fitzgerald (Swank) thrive in the ring. Rwank won best actress, Eastwood best director and the film itself took best picture. Freeman also earned an Image Award from the National Association of the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

Freeman is recognized for his distinctive voice, marking him a frequent choice for narration. In 2005 alone, he provided narration for two of the most successful films of the year, War of the Worlds and the Academy Award-winning documentary film, March of the Penguins. He joined the cast of the first picture as the foreboding narrator who tells of the destruction wrought by aliens upon the Earth. The Batman Begins role represented the first in a renewed franchise (the second being 2008’s The Drak Knight), with the actor playing Lucius Fox, a technology expert who equis Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) with his vast assemblage of gadgetry. more »
