What do you think?
He'd get straight bashed, so he better not.
Shouldn't everyone deserve a second chance?
If he gets the right material, I don't see why not. However, if he's a difficult person then people might not be willing to work with him.
I think he would be a great FDR in an all African-American revival of Sunrise At Campobello with Phylicia Rashad as Eleanor.
I would like that.

Who's Isaiah Washington?
I can see him in King Lear.
Who's Isaiah Washington?
The former Grey's Anatomy actor who was fired for calling co-star T.R. Knight "a f*g."
Does he sing? I would like to see him in a musical.

For me, he's unwatchable on film; so, I see no reason to put him on stage. It's just another media for him to destroy.

I think he is a good actor and I like his very white teeth.
Isaiah "I may be in a hole but that won't stop me digging; let's see if we can get this mother all the way to Australia!" Washington? How many additional chances does a guy need? XD
Well, it's not like he got a bj from a teenager! I could understand no one wanting to see him if THAT was the case.
Yea, but he was "outraged" for being fired.
If a white guy on a popular network TV show called one of his Black-American co-stars the N-word on set, he would not only be fired but raked across the coals by the news media/Al Sharpton.
In my book, he deserves no second chance.
In film and tv you can do close ups. If he does live theater you can get a cheap seat, squint your eyes and you will think it is Denzel Washington, his brother. (they ARE related, aren't they?)
I dunno. He didn't do anything illegal, and I wasn't there on the set, so who knows?
So we agree that saying the faggot word on a closed set is worse than a forty year old man putting his dick in a 15 year old girl's mouth?
PS - I heard from some people that that TR Knight was kind of asking for it, anyway.
I don't think that anyone agreed to that and that is a stupid argument regardless as it has nothing to do with what he did.
There have been plenty of published reports on exactly what happened: within a fight with another cast member, Isaiah yelled "and not like your little faggot T.R" while T.R and much of the cast were preparing to do a scene in a full soundstage.
And by your ridiculous logic, if said 15 y.o was asking for it, then it'd be A-OK?

Didn't he also say it again? Like at the Emmys or something? I seem to remember it happening more than once.

I blame TR Knight. What was he doing talking to Isiah Washington Anyway?
They worked on the same show.
Yes he said it again, at the Golden Globes, I think. And I think he was actually trying to halfway apologize but botched that up. Wasn't it when the cast was speaking to the press after winning an award?
And by your ridiculous logic, if said 15 y.o was asking for it, then it'd be A-OK?
Actually, it was on this board that I heard the 15 year old was asking for it.
