Vernon actor,' emphasizing his upbringing. He reflected on the differences between theater and film, claiming that he honed his craft on stage first.

Reflecting on his identity, Washington said, "I'm from Mt. Vernon, so I'm a 'Mt. Vernon actor.' I don't know what 'Hollywood' means."
Discussing the nature of acting, he articulated, "Movies are a filmmaker's medium... Theater is an actor's medium. The curtain goes up, nobody can help you."
Washington remarked on his Broadway role, stating, "People, you know, they ordinarily think, 'Oh yeah, it's about jealousy.' No, it's about two soldiers who trust each other with their lives."
