Denzel Washington is one of the greatest actors of all time. That phrase is not just the name of a former podcast hosted by W. Kamau Bell and Kevin Avery, but also stands as fact. He's been active as a performer, starting with his stage work, for 50 years, and at age 70 can still open a film and draw box office without slipping into superhero spandex.
Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal were notably snubbed in this year's Tony nominations, while newcomers George Clooney and Nicole Scherzinger received their first nominations.
