"Denzel Washington has stated that he tried to pursue a medical career before becoming interested in acting. Speaking to PopEater, Washington admitted that he abandoned his desire to become a doctor while in college because he found acting classes to be easier than medical studies. &amp;quot;I went to college to be a doctor,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I just took a class in acting because they said you can get an easy and good grade in it and I just liked getting good grades easily. It&amp;#039;s still true!&amp;quot; When questioned as to when he knew that he had become a success as an actor, the two-time Oscar winner joked: &amp;quot;When I didn&amp;#039;t have to sneak out of a restaurant. I could actually just pay. You never heard me say that.&amp;quot; Washington will next appear in Unstoppable, which is released on November 12 in US cinemas, and on November 24 in the UK.
