Denzel Washington, a two-time Academy Award winner and licensed minister, was named the “greatest actor of the 21st century” by the New York Times. But don’t call him a “Hollywood” actor. He said, “Movies are a filmmaker’s medium. You shoot it, and then you’re gone and they cut together and add music and do all of that. Theater is an actor’s medium. The curtain goes up, nobody can help you.” Employing his contrast, let’s ask ourselves: Are we in a play or in a movie today? Our answer determines the direction and significance of our lives.
