Denzel+Washington

Denzel Washington is an African American actor. The author of my books name is Alex Simmons. Denzel Washington was an Oscar winning actor, but he also helped the community. Denzel helps out with the Boys & Girls Club of America he once was in the club but then it was called the Boys Club of America. He was in numerous movies and did a great job acting. Denzel has a wife and four kids their names are John David, Olivia, Malcolm ,and Katia, he also has a loving wife, her name is Pauletta Washington.

Denzel Washington is from Mount Vernon, New York. Denzel won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in the film //Glory// when Washington won that Oscar it paved the way for other African American actors. Denzel Washington was born on December 28, 1954 in Mount Vernon, New York. Denzel graduated from Fordham University in 1977, Denzel returned a few years later to recive an honorary degree. He met his wife on the cast of the movie Wilma this movie was his first movie he ever acted in.

Washington has won two Oscars, fourty eight winnings, and fourty five nomanations. He has played in the movies "Man of Fire", "Glory", "Cry Freedom", The Preacher's Wife"and, Deja Vu, those are only a few of the films he has played in. Denzel and his wife Pauletta earned an honor from the city of Los Angeles for helping at The Gathering Place in South Central Los Angeles. The Washington's rasied funds and did all that they could,but in the end Denzel's popularity keep the shelter open. Denzel has donated thousands of dollars to a center for the elderly.

Denzel has donated a million dollars to the Nelson Mandela Childern's Fund and has become the national spokesperson for the Boys and Girls Club. He doesn't understand how kids stay out of trouble now a days he thinks it is much harder now then it was when he was a kid. He wants his children to grow up to be normal as in not as much fame and fortune. His mother takes them all over New York so they can see how life really is rather than limos and guards all the time.

I admire Denzel Washington so much because he is determined to get the job done. Washingtons talent and determination is what led him to becoming a movie star. Denzel has helped his communtiy in so many different ways. He has raised at least a million dollars for the elderly and the childern around the communtiy. Denzel didn't do all that by his self he had help from his family members. Denzel Washington is an outstanding actor and is one of the best African American actors. He has always encouraged himself to be the best he could be.
