Denzel made his screen acting debut in the 1977 made-for-television film Wilma, shortly after graduating from Fordham, and his first Hollywood appearance in the 1981 film Carbon Copy. He shared a 1982 Distinguished Ensemble Performance Obie Award for playing Private First Class Melvin Peterson in the Off-Broadway Negro Ensemble Company production A Soldier’s Play which premiered 20 November 1981

Denzel won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of a defiant, self-possessed ex-slave soldier in the film Glory in 1989, and that same year, he was featured in the film The Mighty Quinn; and in For Queen and Country, where he played the conflicted and disillusioned Reuben James, a British soldier who, despite a distinguished military career, went back to a civilian life where racism and inner-city life lead to vigilantism and brutality.

Denzell starred as Bleek Gilliam in the Spike Lee film Mo’ Better Blues in 1990 and in the following year he starred as Demetrius Williams in the romantic drama Mississippi Masala. He was rejoined with Lee to play one of his most critically acclaimed roles, the title character of 1992’s Malcolm X. His performance as the black nationalist leader made him receive another nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor.

Denzel made an appearance in the title role of the Public Theater’s production of Shakespeare’s Richard III in the summer of 1990. In 2005, he made an appearance on stage again as Marcus Brutus in a Broadway production of Julius Caesar. Despite mixed reviews, the production’s limited run was a consistent sell-out. In the spring of 2010, he played Troy Maxson, opposite Viola Davis, in the Broadway revival of August Wilson’s Fences and won a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play on 13 June 2010

Denzel also starred as Theodore Hickey Hickman in a Broadway revival of Eugene O’Neill’s The Iceman Cometh at the beginning of 22 March 2018. The production, directed by George C. Wolfe, started regular performances on 26 April and ran for 14 weeks.
