Isaiah Washington starred as Preston Burke on ABC's "Grey's Anatomy."

A native of Houston, Texas, Isaiah Washington spent four years in the Air Force before studying drama at Washington, DC's Howard University. While at Howard, Isaiah Washington won a role in the play "Spell #7" and then moved to New York to further pursue his career. There he appeared in a number of stage productions, including August Wilson's "Fences" and Thornton Wilder's "Skin of Our Teeth." With a passion for theater, Washington became one of the founding members of City Kids Repertory, a theater group that visits high schools and community centers throughout New York.

Isaiah Washington first made his mark in cinema in gritty crime dramas and romantic ensemble comedies. He has been featured in four acclaimed Spike Lee films: "Crooklyn," "Clockers," "Girl 6," and "Get on the Bus." Other feature credits include "Exit Wounds," "Romeo Must Die," "True Crime," "Bulworth," "Out of Sight," "Love Jones," "Dead Presidents," "Stonewall," "Strictly Business" and the acclaimed "Dancing in September" - a performance which earned him a nomination for an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Actor.

More recently, Isaiah Washington was seen in "Ghost Ship," "Welcome to Collinwood," "Hollywood Homicide," "Moguls" and "Dead Birds."

On television, Isaiah Washington has guest-starred in several series, including "NYPD Blue," "Law & Order," "Homicide: Life on the Street," "Ally McBeal," "New York Undercover," "Living Single," "Soul Food" and "Touched by an Angel."

Isaiah Washington makes his home in Los Angeles with his wife and two sons.
