Denzel Washington, who recently returned to Broadway for Fences, winning a 2010 Tony Award, is headed for Broadway again in 2014.

"What I want to do is come back to Broadway, which I plan to do in 2014," Washington told Charlie Rose in the November 1 episode of The Charlie Rose Show. "Scott Rudin and Kenny Leon, who directed me in FENCES, we're all trying to figure out which play to do. I won't say which play - I like acting on stage more than on film. I like directing, I like acting on stage, and then I like acting on film."

He made his Broadway debut in Checkmates (1988). Other theatre credits include Richard III, The Mighty Gents, Ceremonies in Dark Old Men, When the Chickens Come Home to Roost and A Soldier's Play, for which he won an Obie. He is a two-time Academy Award winner for his performances in Training Day and Glory, and received Oscar nominations for his performances in The Hurricane, Malcolm X and Cry Freedom. His latest film, Flight, was just released.
