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. :)
Kind of surprised to see this headline.
He’s a Christian?
Denzel thinks the purpose of a commencement speaker is to inspire and encourage instead of inculcate hate and resentment and dump your own personal baggage on grads?
He’s never going to fit in with Moochie, the White House crowd, and the Obama butt kissing elites.
Food poisoning is more inspiring than Michelle Obama. She oozes hate and anger.
Good for D. Washington.
Seems like a good decent guy.
Not surprised that he's Christian.
Moochelle's speech was angry, racist and vile.
She spit in the face of those that pay for her vacations.
I doubt if she's done an honest day's work in her life.
As a side note, one son named JD is a running back in the UFL and another son Malcolm recently graduated from the University of Pennsylvania while playing basketball for them.........
BTTT!!!
I was in one of his movies, well, sort of. : ) That one where he was a pilot? There was a scene showing his character helping his drug addict girlfriend move out of her apartment.
He was briefly looking through a box in the trunk of her car and she had a picture of me playing live with an old band of mine. Apparently set directors think I’m the kind of guy that crackheads find attractive. Ha.
Poll at the article link site re whose fault deteriorated race relations are - lots of folks responding, 70% say it’s BO’s.
....“I pray that you put your slippers way under your bed tonight, so that when you wake up in the morning you have to get on your knees to reach them,” Washington said. “And while you’re down there, say, ‘thank you. Thank you for grace, thank you for mercy, thank you for understanding, thank you for wisdom, thank you for parents, thank you for love, thank you for kindness, thank you for humility, thank you for peace, thank you for prosperity. Say ‘thank you’ in advance for what’s already yours.... True desire in the heart for anything good is God’s proof to you, sent beforehand, to indicate that it’s yours already,” Washington said. “Don’t just aspire to make a living,” he concluded, “aspire to make a difference.”
"Dear Lord, we thank You for this food we are about to eat. We thank You for the warm bed, and the roof over our heads on a cold night such as this. It's been too long. We thank You for the gift of companionship in hard times like these. Amen.
-- The Book of Eli
Wow! One of the greatest commencement speeches ever!
Pray America is waking
Good speech, Danzel.
God will bless Mr. Washington.
Have seen him doing ads for the Big Brothers Big Sisters project for years - just his demeanor in those ads always suggested he was one of the good guys to me.....

Has he ever been in a museum? How did he feel?....
Nice.
But I am sure he did not say, “Put. God. First!” He would have said, “Put God first!”
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?
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.
You’re a class act, Denzel. What a contrast to that ungrateful harpy in the White House.
