Every year, Hollywood is looking for that new, white leading man and new white starlet that audiences fall in love with. But they're not looking for the next Denzel Washington, Will Smith or Sidney Poitier.

I wanna chase down Denzel Washington, Jamie Foxx, Will Smith. I would love to start my film career.

Denzel Washington is someone I look up to.

I want to meet Denzel Washington when I go to the Oscars. Every man wants to see Halle Berry in person. And, you know, Dolly Parton... I wouldn't mind seeing Dolly Parton. She's from Tennessee, I'm from Tennessee.

Denzel has been that leading man, but it took him a while to get to Training Day and Hurricane Carter.

Denzel Washington is a big Hollywood movie star now. But he started out as an actor in the Negro Ensemble company.
