Everyone’s Been Saying Denzel Washington’s Name Wrong
Acclaimed actor Denzel Washington corrects the long-standing mispronunciation of his first name. Washington is a world-renowned actor with a career stretching back to the late 1970s. He caught the world's attention in 1987's Cry Freedom, where his role as Steve Biko landed him his first Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. While he didn't win for Cry Freedom, Washington quickly found himself nominated again two years later for 1989's Glory, where he landed his first Oscar win for Best Supporting Actor. Following Glory, Washington's career flourished, with the actor landing numerous roles in acclaimed films.
