Denzel Washington Gets A Gold Star

Acting on film and acting on stage are two very different things. They’re two completely separate schools of acting, with two completely different ways of working.  Some people can’t do both (remember Jeremy Piven?), but some people really can, and Denzel Washington is one of those people.

In 1988, Washington was in a show called Checkmates, then in 2005 he was in a revival of Julius Caesar.  Now a revival of August Wilson’s Fences has started with Denzel in the leading role, and according to the reviews, he’s doing really well.  A CNN review put it simply by saying “he’s a force.”

It’s always impressive when movie stars make a move to theatre.  It makes me think that maybe, just maybe, Hollywood isn’t completely full of talentless hacks.  Thanks, Denzel, I really appreciate it.
