IMHO, I can think of no better modern actor than Denzel Washington. He's got class, yet is very humble.
The Book of Eli.....he added the Bible theme to it if he was going to star in it. Best apocalyptic movie of all time.
The Equalizer.....played a thoroughly moral hero who was more or less an average Joe, but with courage and a sense of compassion for the afflicted.
The Equalizer 2.....same theme with new stories. Rescued a fatherless black teen from the influence of the gangsta crowd. Kicked butt only in self defense and to rescue the innocent. I can't think of a better actor to take the roll of the best 1980s tv series made into 2 of the best movies I've ever seen.
