He played the role of an ex-slave who joined the Union Army as a soldier during the American Civil War (1861-1865). He had suffered beatings while a slave and he was very bitter and hard to control. As the movie progresses, he learns how to control his anger and vent it at his enemy. He joined the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment. This was a real black Army unit and they fought a bloody battle at a coastal fort just south of Charleston, SC. The regiment lost a lot of casualties.

Denzel Washington is 6'0" (1.84m) tall according to IMDB.

According to his Internet Movie Database (IMDb) bio, the two-time Academy Award winner is 6' 0½" tall. That makes him the fifth tallest Best Actor winner of the 2000s, behind Forest Whitaker (6' 2"), Daniel Day-Lewis (6' 1½") and Jeff Bridges and Adrien Brody (both 6' 1"). Washington is taller than the four other Best Actor recipients of the decade: Russell Crowe (5' 11"), two-time Oscar winner Sean Penn and Philip Seymour Hoffman (both 5' 9½"), and Jamie Foxx (5' 9").
A little over 6' and a little under 6'1". Does that answer your question? what else you want? his credit card details? his bank statements? ;)

Do Angela bassett smoke?

Asked by Wiki User

A friend of mine was working in the catering dept during the filming of 'Nanny McPhee' and told me that Angela used to sneak off with crew members to have a sneaky cigarette. He also said that she had a very dirty sense of humour and used language that'd make a sailor blush! This just endears her to me even more.

What does Colonel Shaw ask Denzel Washington to do in Glory?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

First he is more of strict guy and always wanting to follow the rules and wasn't really thinking about the men. Then he realizes the men have risked their lives to be part of the union. The rebels will kill them if they capture them. In the end he leads the men because he is going to risk his life for them now. There were a lot of casualties in the first battle so I think he really wanted to risk his life for them. And when he gave the letters to the guy to send to his parents (Attack on Fort Wagner), I think Shaw really knew that he was going to die for the men that day because usually the colonels are supposed to stay away from danger in the back and so he had the guy deliver the messages to his family to say goodbye. You have to be really unselfish to just give away your life like that. That truly is the ultimate sacrifice. And he did die. That was a great movie. (Especially loved: Matthew Broderick, Morgan Freeman, Jihmi Kennedy, Denzel Washington, Cary Elwes and Andre Braugher)
