Forest Whitaker

Forest Whitaker’s powerful performances on the screen show a presence he has like no other. And as one might have guessed, that was also an asset for him on the gridiron.

Whitaker’s film debut was in the football-themed comedy “Fast Times at Ridgemont High,” and “The Last King of Scotland” earned him a coveted Oscar.
