A major career break came when he starred as Dr。 Phillip Chandler in the television hospital drama St。 Elsewhere which ran from 1982 to 1988 on NBC。 He was one of only a few African American actors to appear on the series for its entire six－year run。 Washington also appeared in several television， film and stage roles such as the films A Soldier’s Story （1984）， Hard Lessons （1986） and Power （1986）。 In 1987 Washington starred as South African anti－apartheid political activist Steven Biko in Richard Attenborough’s Cry Freedom for which he received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor。 In 1989 Washington won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for playing a defiant self－possessed ex－slave soldier in the film Glory。 Also that year he gave a powerful performance in The Mighty Quinn， and as the conflicted and disillusioned Reuben James， a British soldier who， despite a distinguished military career， returns to a civilian life where racism and inner city life leads to vigilantism and violence in For Queen and Country。
Washington has received two Academy Awards， two Golden Globe awards， a Tony Award。 He is notable for winning the Best Supporting Actor for Glory in 1989； and the Academy Award for Best Actor in 2001 for his role in the film Training Day。
在好莱坞的黑人影星中，也只有威尔·史密斯能与他分庭抗礼。曾有人评论他说：他不是一个伟大的黑人，而是一个有着黑色皮肤的伟大的人。因为“帅得不像话”而涉足大银幕的丹泽尔·华盛顿，注定代表了整整一代美国人的价值取向。论演技，丹泽尔·华盛顿无懈可击，两座奥斯卡奖杯，两座柏林影帝奖杯（《马尔科姆·X》和《飓风》），让他在好莱坞黑人男星中的“一哥”地位不可撼动。
此外，华盛顿并没有仅仅将目光停留在表演上，由他自导自演的《伟大的雄辩家》也在2007年上映。这一次，考验他的不仅是演技，更是他作为一个在电影圈摸爬滚打多年后的“电影工作者”实实在在的综合实力。片中，他与去年的黑人奥斯卡影帝福里斯特·惠特克合作。两部电影，两度与同为奥斯卡影帝的“实力派”演员演对手戏，丹泽尔·华盛顿的野心就写在脸上。他不怕对决强敌，无论对方是什么肤色。因为在大多数人的心中，他才是好莱坞永远的“一哥”，不管他是什么肤色。
