Denzel Washington was never in a feature film entitled ‘License to Kill’. He was in a TV movie ‘License to Kill’ in 1984- not included on the list as it was not released in cinemas.

I have always respected denzel Washington as a person and an actor. He keeps a low-profile and still grounded with career and personal.

Hello,
Do anyone know the title of the Denzel movie when he played a prisoner on death row? In this movie a young man was given an assignment to interview a person on death row. Please if anyone know the movie that Im referring to, post it.

I’m not sure what that movie could be- I haven’t watched all of Denzel’s films. It could be ‘The Hurricane’.

You also forgot Denzel’s movie Hard Lesson with Lynn Whitfield in 1986… maybe you should research all his movies then update and post your list…we want to be sure to give Denzel all the recognition due him for all his movies
12. Want to know it | December 5th, 2009 at 2:05 am
Ms G
As I stated above this list only contains feature films starring Denzel Washington. Hard Lessons (also called The George McKenna Story) was a television movie- not released at cinemas. Therefore it is not part of the list.

My son, Jeremiah is trying to complete a project on Mr. Washington. When he came home from school today he began to ask me questions about Mr. Washington. Although, I could answer some of Jeremiah’s questions, I could not answer all of them. Then it dawned on me that I have a computer and could google him. So, here we are on this website. Jeremiah has now answered all of his questions and hopefully gets extra credit. With all the time and efford I have also put into the project I want some extra too (L.O.L.). On a more serious note I have followed Mr. Washington’s career for a number of years. He is no doubt one of the best actor’s out there, not just because of the roles he chooses to perform but because of the type of man he has grown to be. In closing, Thank You, Mr. Washington from Evelina Short & Jeremiah Harvey of Cheraw, South Carolina.

what is name of movie with him as a head of correctional officer and kid gets hired and he tries training him to be evil because denzel plays as a “bad guy” but it shows him at the market and hes all nice hes just evil when it comes to work…came out a yr or two ago I think good prison movie its not “gangsta”

I enjoy watching Mr. Washington he is very gifted, I feel that God has really blessed him with a great gift. I love that he is a family man and you don’t hear all that drama about him and other women, I believe he is a great role model and most of all and example of a strong BLACK Man doing things the right way keep up the good work that you have done so far Mr. Washington.
