A fellow player in Spike Lee’s pictures, Isaiah Washington played the in-house neighbor, Vic. He would go on to originate and excel as the role of Dr. Preston Burke in Shonda Rhimes‘ medical drama Grey’s Anatomy. After winning two NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series, Washington was embroiled in a controversial backstage scandal where he used a homosexual slur on a fellow castmate.
Since the hype has died down, Washington starred as Beltway sniper John Muhammad in 2013’s Blue Caprice, which earned raved reviews. He will also be invited back to reprise his role as Dr. Burke in a farewell episode for Sandra Oh‘s character this May.
