But despite his critically acclaimed turn in Malcolm & Marie and 47-episode arc in HBO’s Ballers, Washington lives under the long shadow of his father, Oscar winner Denzel Washington, something that he addressed recently in an in-depth interview.
Before going into the family business, John David played professional football for the Sacramento Mountain Lions, which was then a part of the United Football League. Speaking with host Josh Horowitz on the Dec. 16 episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast, John David mused that perhaps part of his decision to delay his acting career in favor of athletics was to “protect myself.”
