Like his father, John David Washington is making a name for himself in the movie industry. John officially kicked off his acting career, starring as NFL player Ricky Jerret in “Ballers,” a sports comedy-drama released on HBO back in 2015. “This character, he made me giggle at first because I know guys with his spirit. But what really attracted me to Jerret was the cultural misunderstanding of a guy like this,” John told Men’s Journal of his character in the show. Since then, John has moved up the Hollywood ranks, with multiple award recognitions, including a Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award nomination to his name, per IMDb.
Similarly, Olivia Washington got her father’s acting genes and has since racked up a number of acting credits for herself. Unsurprisingly, Denzel Washington is one proud father. During an appearance on “Good Morning America,” he once quipped, “I’m a dad so I’m gonna keep saying it: Olivia Washington is a great young actress. Very, very, very good young actress, so she’s coming for her brother [John David].”
But while John and Olivia have chosen careers on-screen, their siblings would rather remain behind the scenes. Per her IMDb, Katia Washington works as a movie producer with credits in movies like “Malcolm & Marie” and “Breaking.” Malcolm, a University of Pennsylvania alum has also worked as a producer and director.
