Denzel Washington – Philanthropist

Denzel Washington is one of Hollywood’s most celebrated actors and personalities. He’s been described as the man who reconfigured “the classic concept of movie stardom,” portraying characters that have exceptional grace, humanity, dignity, and inner strength. One of his most notable performances as an actor was “detective Alonzo Harris” in the iconic crime thriller Training Day. Without a doubt, Denzel is one of the most accomplished actors today and The New York Times even ranked him as the best actor of the twenty-first century.

It’s only reasonable that a man and actor of Denzel’s stature would rake in hundreds of millions from his movies. Interestingly, though Denzel may earn millions of dollars, he hasn’t kept his large paychecks to himself. Washington is known to be a sponsor, both financial and personal, to various charitable organizations. He’s also been the spokesperson for the Boys & Girls Club of America for 28 years! Without a doubt, Denzel deserves credit for his excellence as an actor and as a man for others!
