Denzel Washington said that he doesn’t consider himself a “Hollywood actor” during his March 23 appearance on “CBS Sunday Morning.” What’s the definition of a Hollywood actor?” Washington asked during the interview. “Myself, I’m from Mt. Vernon, so I’m a ‘Mt. Vernon actor. I don’t know what ‘Hollywood’ means.”

"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," Washington declared to "CBS News Sunday Morning" host Bill Whitaker after the journalist pointed out the amount of "Hollywood actors" who have roles on Broadway this season.

If you've ever considered Denzel Washington to be a Hollywood star, you may have been mistaken. In case you didn’t know, Denzel is currently starring alongside Jake Gyllenhaal in the brand-new Broadway production of Othello, which opened at the Barrymore Theater on Sunday.
