Denzel Washington put the record straight on his job title.
Washington admitted that he does not consider himself a Hollywood actor, despite the victory of two Oscars, a Tony Award and three Golden Globes.
“What is the definition of a Hollywood actor? Myself, I am from Mont Vernon, so I am an” actor of MT. Vernon “,” said Washington during an appearance on “CBS Sunday morning. “The actor apparently referred to his hometown in New York.” I don’t know what “Hollywood” means. “”
“Anyone who is famous on cinema? A film actor, great success on cinema?” He thought more.

Washington, who plays in the new Broadway production of “Othello”, considers himself an “stage actor”. The 70 -year -old star will go on stage alongside Jake Gyllenhaal for the show, which has not been on Broadway since 1982.
“I am a stage actor who makes the film; it’s not the opposite,” said Washington. “I first feired. I learned to act on stage, not on the cinema. The films are a medium of the filmmaker. You turn it, then you left, and they cut and add music and make all this. The theater is the medium of an actor. The curtain rises, nobody can help you.”
Washington began his theater career after training at the American Conservatory Theater. He played in a certain number of Off-Brroadway shows before winning his role as a breakthrough in the medical drama “St. WhelWhere” in 1982. He won several nominations for his work on the program and was finally able to enter the cinema.
Washington is known For his films such as “Fents”, “Training Day”, “The Book of Eli”, “Cry Freedom” and “Malcom X.”
