My son is an LEO - was nice to see a Hollywood type endorse police If folks would just ride out with LEO's like Denzel did they would have a totally different view of what their job really entails https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment...-little-things-interviews-231334113.html

If you've never heard him speak you should go pull up some YouTube videos. He's a deep thinker and calls things for what they are.

They always try and bait him into the race thing and he never lets it happen.

That`s not the narrative that Hollywood want to teach. It will never be seen on CNN that`s for sure. He is one one the few actors that actually gets it and still works in Hollywood. One of my favorite actors. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/01/full-8162-277967-my_man_denzel_washington_300x222.png)

Few people will ever know of the efforts by white-led police departments throughout the Deep South to combat the KKK during the Civil Rights Movement. You'll likely never see Hollywood portray any of them in a television show or movie. This event happened in a small town in Mississippi where I spent much of my youth. Link

This is a perfect example of him not going with the race narrative. Although the interviewer keeps trying.

Jamie Foxx lost his lil sister recently. Poor guy. Very little press on that.

He’s one of the very few actors I like and was hoping he didn’t stray from his past. Good to see he still thinks for himself!

Denzel, one of my top 5 Actors, probably #1
I will watch all his staff. He's such a bad azz in , his "Equalizer" movies but there are so many more great ones

Him and Morgan Freeman are both outstanding men IMO. Those two, Clint Eastwood and Robert Duvall are my favorite actors.

Denzel is great! I’m sure he has own shortcomings as we all do but he’s a class act as far as I can tell.
