There are few actors who can play a villain quite like Denzel Washington, and he has the Oscar to prove it. Playing Alonzo Harris in Training Day, Washington was a seriously evil, corrupt son of a bitch, murdering anybody that got in his way and selling out anyone who threatened the way he operated. Then he did it again in American Gangster, playing the notorious drug kingpin Frank Lucas. In a couple weeks Washington will once again be returning to his evil ways as Tobin Frost in Daniel Espinosa's Safe House. Want a preview of just how evil he is in the movie? Check out this clip via IGN in which he tries to choke out Ryan Reynolds with a pair of handcuffs... while they're driving.
