Denzel Washington is clarifying the origins of his acclaimed career.
The 70 year-old actor, who is currently playing the titular role in Othello on Broadway, said in a recent interview that he considers himself to be primarily a stage actor.
“I’m a stage actor who does film, it’s not the other way around. I did stage first. I learned how to act on stage, not on film,” he told CBS’ Sunday Morning when asked about the string of movie stars who are currently starring in Broadway productions.
