For fans who have gotten used to the actor’s more swaggering portrayals, Roman J. This aging champion for the little guy yearns for a fight at every occasion, not aware that his stubbornness and ego have proved to be his undoing, and Washington responds with a harried, vulnerable performance.

is a profoundly odd character drama - Nightcrawler writer-director Dan Gilroy tries to graft a thriller subplot onto the story near the end - and it’s driven by Roman’s idealistic, combative attitude. Washington earned his ninth Oscar nomination - and sixth Best Actor nod - for his peculiar, utterly fascinating portrait of the title character, an aggressively principled defense attorney who faces an ethical crisis of his own making. Unlike a Nicolas Cage, he has kept from becoming a self-parody, focusing on gritty genre pictures for a few years before throwing us a curveball and doing something deeply moving like a Flight or Fences.īut which performance is his best? With The Little Things out this weekend, here are all of Denzel Washington’s movie roles, ranked. Happily, Washington’s career has not worked that way. Many well-respected actors have worked their way up the Hollywood food chain, trading their Oscar cachet for big paydays and embarrassing themselves in the process. (Consider: He’s been in only six movies that have made more than $100 million domestically, his biggest hit being the relatively modest $130 million of American Gangster.) Almost alone among consistent box-office draws, Washington himself is the selling point: Even when he does a remake ( The Magnificent Seven, The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3), you’re going because of him.

Tied to no franchise - seriously, until The Equalizer 2, he’d never made a sequel - he puts asses in seats, but not in such huge amounts that there’s any worry of Denzel fatigue setting in. Although he has a well-established onscreen persona, it’s mutable enough to allow him to move from R-rated action films ( The Book of Eli) to serious dramas ( Philadelphia) to passion projects with frequent collaborators (like Spike Lee). Of all A-list stars, Denzel Washington’s career may be the most enviable.
