to South African freedom fighter Steven Biko in "Cry Freedom," from Shakespeare's tragic historical figure "Richard III," to the rogue detective, Alonzo in "Training Day," Washington has amazed and entertained us with a rich array of characters distinctly his own.

In 2010, moviegoers were treated to two very different sides of Washington when he starred in Tony Scott's fast-paced thriller "Unstoppable," and in the Hughes brothers' dystopian vision, "The Book of Eli," which Washington also produced.
