In this illuminating insight into Denzel Washington's multifaceted image and remarkable career, Cynthia Baron traces his star persona and impact on mainstream society – from his time as a skilled actor in theatre and television in the 1980s, to his leading man roles in landmark films of the 1990s, to his place in Hollywood's elite in the 2000s.

Revue de Presse :
"Baron’s timely research allows readers to both consider the actor’s career and make sense of how his against all odds exalted status was achieved. … Cynthia Baron’s research is a useful addition to the British Film Institute series because it is a thorough discussion of an actor whose artistic achievements have transcended race even as some attempted to keep him shackled to it. Scholars, cultural critics, and fans alike should seek out Denzel Washington by any means necessary." (Rob Prince Obey, Journal of Film and Video, Vol. 69 (1), 2017)
