DISCOVER YOUR REAL POTENTIAL
While many big-name actors still challenge themselves by doing Broadway from time to time, Washington seems like he is almost a regular on the Great White Way since playing Brutus in the 2005 production of Julius Caesar. He’s set to return in the 2018 production of The Iceman Cometh. As for why Washington keeps coming back, he says, “I think a part of it is that I do three things. I don’t just act in movies…I keep trying to get better. I’m just growing as an actor, and you come to a place in life where you go, ‘Well, you know, I don’t know how many days I got left, but there’s only so many roles.’ I’m interested in different challenges, and challenging myself and just trying to get better.”

Denzel Washington will return to Broadway this spring in a revival of Eugene O’Neill’s “The Iceman Cometh.”
Mr. Washington will play the lead role of Theodore Hickman, a.k.a. Hickey, a charming traveling salesman, in this dark and poetic drama that unfolds in a Manhattan saloon. The play will be directed by George C. Wolfe and produced by Scott Rudin. Further casting has yet to be announced.
