26. Denzel Washington (Born In 1954) – Training Day, Glory

Denzel Washington has two Oscars, for Glory and Training Day, and he's still choosing roles that challenge him. In his 70s, he shows no sign of coasting.

He played a scheming power broker in Gladiator II, starred in Shakespeare's Othello on Broadway, and reunited with Spike Lee for the thriller Highest 2 Lowest. Few actors of any age command the screen the way he does.
