Dillard Universitys 218 members of the Class of 2015 received a special treat in addition to their diplomas Academy and Tony Award-winning actor Denzel Washington to deliver the keynote commencement address. And in contrast to the whiney, racial and excuse-driven address delivered by first lady Michelle Obama at another historically black university, Washingtons was filled of hope, humor, inspiration and love of his creator.

Does anyone know what was the very first movie in which he appeared?
It was "Death Wish", with Charles Bronson.
He was on the screen for about two seconds. :)
Has he ever been in a museum? How did he feel?....
Crimson Tide is one of my all-time favorite movies. Great storyline, suspense, good actors.
I don’t know. Disappointing if he was.
How could you not know, I tell everyone constantly.
One of the best actors out there.
Nice.

Makes no sense to put periods between words within a complete sentence, as a period signifies the end of a thought. Who is the dope that came up with that Internet thing?
Wow, must be nice living the life of Riley and lounging around all day with the residuals pouring in!
Man on Fire was excellent. I can’t bring myself to watch Flight, though..
And a really great actor, too!
Just heard the moocher’s speech to college students. I’ve never heard such a horrible screed to young people - not one word of gratitude or inspiration. What a monster.
I finally did watch it - very painful, but definitely worth watching.
Living the dream. : )
I told my husband recently ... So what if its supposed to be a bad movie. DENZEL is in it! I’m watching.
You’re a class act, Denzel. What a contrast to that ungrateful harpy in the White House.
Wow.
Love his quick sense of humor and genuine joy - the way he laughs unscripted.
“There is wit, humor, and enduring vivacity among God’s people.”
>> Did you ever see him act or behave like he wasn’t?
Christians are sinners...
>> Who is the dope that came up with that Internet thing?
Well, that would be Al. Gore.
