Sure, there's not much genre talk, but it's honestly an interesting article. Whitaker talks about his approach to acting, some life experiences, poor directorial choices (First Daughter? Really?).
And a little bit of postmodern intertextuality:
"But it turns out that there is a Denzel Whitaker who is not related to Forest Whitaker or Denzel Washington. He's a 17-year-old actor who stars in a new picture called The Great Debaters. Confusingly, it was directed by Denzel Washington and stars not only Washington but Forest Whitaker as little Denzel's dad. The real little Denzel was named after the real big Denzel."
Funny thing is, that actually cleared up a lot for me. I remember seeing the movie and just assuming that he was Whitaker's son. They even look a little bit alike. Does anyone know of any other naming homages?
Anyway, it's a really interesting article and worth a read.
