Photo Content from Denzel Whitaker
Born in Torrance, California, Denzel Whitaker is best known for his award-winning role in “THE GREAT DEBATERS”, where he performed opposite two of his namesakes, Denzel Washington and Forest Whitaker. Denzel's distinct passion for creation is complemented by a unique grasp of pragmatic knowledge that allows him to manifest what he wishes to portray, whether it’s in acting, directing, photography, editing, or writing.Numerous films and television shows list Denzels’ name among their actors: Marvel's Black Panther, Abduction, Warrior, My Soul to Take, The Bad Lieutenant, Training Day, All That, Black Dynamite, Rizzoli & Isles, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, ER – all of which have groomed Denzel into an exemplary performer with an aptitude for working hard and working with a vision.
THE STORY
There's a reason everyone in Richmond knows Will Vaughn as "The Machine" - he doesn't complain, he doesn't smile, he doesn't relax. Will doesn't even talk unless it gets him closer to the one thing he cares about - WINNING.
While this has led to enormous success on the football field, it has come at the cost of his mental and emotional well-being.
Embodying the perfect blend of strength and vulnerability to counter our title character, Denzel Whitaker is an actor you may recognize from movies such as The Great Debaters, Bad Lieutenant, Warrior, and Training Day. Although Denzel has been performing in major Hollywood films and TV series since he was a kid, in recent years has established himself as a filmmaker and photographer in his own right - creating content under his production company, Blackmouf. His input on the story has already been invaluable, and we're thrilled to be collaborating with this multi-talented artist.
