A decade separates Washington's two statuettes, and a rebellious fire burns in both of his characters. In Glory, Washington plays Silas Trip, a self-possessed ex-slave whose defiance of authority is his greatest source of power. In 2001, he shed all heroism to play Training Day’s crooked cop, Alonzo Harris, whose illegal tactics generate real results, just as Washington's acting has.
