Those of us who have been watching Denzel Washington since the St. Elsewhere days can attest to this fact: he is a remarkable actor. His performances are powerful, intense, intelligent and extremely compelling. So he didn't bring home the Best Actor Oscar for his wonderful portrayals of Malcolm X and Hurricane Carter he got one instead for creating rogue cop Alonzo Harris in Training Day. And the honors, as well as the great acting, will keep coming. We expect nothing but great things from him and we know we won't be disappointed. We're going to honor him here with our glowing Destination Hollywood Tribute to Denzel Washington.
The story of the historical Union Army 54th Regiment from Massachusetts - the only all-black infantry unit that fought in the Civil War - is told in vivid detail in this excellent tale of both the tragedy and heroism of war.
