LOVED “The Equalizer”

That said, it worked because Edward Woodward was a great actor, was able to deliver his lines completely dead-pan, and portray the impression that he really could deliver on his threats. It didn’t need to be explained, you knew from the first moment that this was a violent person.

Somehow, I don’t see Denzel Washington being able to play that believably.

Have you seen American Gangster?

IMO, DW can probably play any part believably.

My favorite scene was in the pilot episode. The baddys are chasing him in the car. He comes to a sliding stop steps out of the car and pulls a rifle on them. They speed off and he says to the "client" I under esti9mated them, I won't make that mistake again. Almost as if he is ordering a drink at the bar.

I don’t know if you saw him in “Man on Fire” but I think that showed his chops in this type of role.
