The legendary actor directed films like Fences and Antwone Fisher, bringing his deep understanding of character-driven stories to the big screen. His work has received critical acclaim. Washington made his acting debut with a made-for-television film Whilma in 1977. But his directional debut came later in his career. Washington went behind the camera for the first time in 2002 with the film Antwone Fisher. After that he directed three more movies; The Great Debaters in 2007, Fences in 2016, and A Journal for Jordan in 2021.
