Laurence Fishburne has an impressive list of stage, TV and film credits and the honors to match—Emmys, a Tony and an Oscar nod. He made his acting debut at age 10 on the New York stage, gave a breakthrough performance in the film, Boyz N the Hood, and went on to become the first African American to play Othello on screen. In ‘08, Fishburne returned to Broadway in the one-man show, Thurgood. He recently signed on to the hit TV series, CSI—his first time starring on the small screen since the '80s.
