email to Eric

So today my father asked me "Who is the greatest living actor in America?"

And my response was something like "Anthony Hopkins" (LOL, that'd be in the UK I realized quickly after guessing)

And he said, "Yes, but IN America."

And I replied, "Oh, my mistake...Denzel Washington, probably."

And he said, "I said the same thing to Chris today." (his cousin)

So I checked my email later today and there are all of these films starring or featuring Denzel Washington.  We decided it's his screen presence and focus that makes him such a great actor.  I said he maybe is such a good actor that he was even able to conceal his nerves early on in his career.  He disagrees, and thinks the guy was never nervous.  Anyway.  Here's his movies.  I wanted to see Malcom X eventually, and he told me the ending of one of his movies is really violent (but gee, could I really not handle it given some of the stuff I've seen lately?). I'd also like to see some Spike Lee joints soon.

Here.

Love,
Me
