| | Posted: | | | | Several sources indicate that Denzel Washington (born 1954) made his screen debut as an uncredited alley mugger in "Death Wish" (1974). This screen capture seems to confirm this information. Any thought ?  | | | | Images from movies | | | | Last edited: by surfeur51 |

Is there a DVD-Version (or BD for that matter) of Death Wish available with some kind of commentary? Sometimes the directors or similar crew share such tidbits of information on those. cya, Mithi | | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki |

| | Posted: | | | | According to his biography, at People.com, he started at Fordham University in the fall of 1973. It goes on to say... "As a camp counselor at a Boys Club camp in 1975, Washington appears in a variety show and falls in love with acting. He later lands roles in Fordham campus productions of Eugene O'Neill's The Emperor Jones and Othello." "After graduating from Fordham University with a B.A. in Journalism, Washington enrolls in San Francisco's American Conservatory Theatre and spends the summer filming his first onscreen role in the TV movie Wilma. He meets future wife Pauletta Pearson, an actress/singer/pianist, on set." ...I suppose it is possible that the person in that scene is Denzel, but it doesn't fit with the above time line. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

Yeah, but imdb has him listed because he looks like the guy and someone thought "no question" that is him and submitted it. IMDB listing adds nothing to the possibility. Someone tweet Denzel and ask him!  |

On the Denzel Washington Website, "Death Wish" is listed on his filmography (first movie, uncredited) That is not an official Denzel Washington web site. It has no more credibility than any other site. | | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection |

It has no more credibility than any other site. And no less... Personally I'm convinced by the screen caps. I examined the sequence image per image, and this guy really looks like Denzel Washington. | | | | Images from movies |
