DENZEL DENZEL. This man is the MAN of the Hour. he's even the Man of the Year. He is an Icon of the movies. A legend next to the best of them. He's man more movies than the movie theatre made Popcorn. LOL! I have never seen an actor with so much to give to the movie theatre. I saw lots of his flicks. He's definitely got it going on. A wife who's understanding, and children whom he always love and adore. Denzel will always be around for us. Love me some DENZEL WASHINGTON. The Man Of The Year!
