Isaiah Washington Stars in New Movie - By: Groshan Fabiola

Maybe Isaiah Washington’s career isn’t going down the drain after all. After the hype on his gay slur on Grey’s Anatomy costar T.R. Knight that nearly ended his acting career, he bounces back with a new movie.

Although many moviemakers are hesitant to take on Washington for a project, director Nathan Scoggins has made a daring move by casting the controversial actor in his directorial debut project. The Least of These is the title of Washington’s debut on the silver screen since his much talked about slur.

The said film features Washington as a Catholic priest who is a victim of sexual abuse.

It’s actually nice to see Washington spring back after a disastrous episode of his career. Apart from Washington, Grey’s Anatomy costars Katherine Heigl, who plays Dr. Isobel "Izzie" Stevens, and Patrick Dempsey, who plays Dr. Derek Shepherd, are also set to star in upcoming films. Dempsey stars in the movie Made of Honor, a romantic comedy about fear of commitment, love and friendship. As for Heigl, she actually has two new movies lined up. The first movie, 27 Dresses, is a romantic comedy about a bridesmaid’s love for her sister’s fiancé. And last but not the least, Knocked Up, also a romantic comedy about one-night stands.

Washington, a 43-year old native of Houston, Texas, currently plays Dr.

Preston Xavier Burke on Grey’s Anatomy.

His inclusion to the popular medical drama recently earned him a 2007 NAACP Image Award for Best Actor in a Drama series. Prior to his inclusion on Grey ’s Anatomy, he studied at Willowridge High School, as well as Howard University. In addition, he also served in the United States Air Force. As an actor, his acting credits included The Color of Love, Land Where My Father Dies, Dead Presidents, True Crime, Hollywood Homicide, Wild Things 2, and Blood on A Happy Face among others.
