Isaiah Washington Biography

An internationally acclaimed award-winning actor Isaiah Washington is an extraordinary man of character known for his many memorable performances and devotion to his craft: ''What I’ve always wanted to put at the forefront is my creativity – what I’ve always wanted to do – is act.''
A veteran of Spike Lee films Washington’s extensive body of work is perhaps most marked by his role as gifted cardiothoracic surgeon “Dr. Preston Burke” on the hit ABC medical drama Grey’s Anatomy. His portrayal earned him two NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series as well as a Screen Actors Guild Award. After leaving Grey’s Anatomy Washington joined NBC guest starring on Bionic Woman. He has been recognized on TV Guide’s “TV’s Sexiest Men” list in June 2006 and was named one of People’s “50 Most Beautiful people” in May 2006.
Now focusing his efforts off-screen Washington is a devout supporter of Sierra Leone working to give back to the land to which his ancestry has been traced. In 2007 he founded The Gondobay Manga Foundation advocating cooperative planning to achieve positive timely improvements in the lives of the people of Sierra Leone. By uniting passionate people The Foundation strives for immediate impact by addressing one village at a time. This singular approach tailors initiatives to the specific needs of the village community while drawing the attention of the international community to distinct goals. In undertaking such issues as road building water supply and electricity The Foundation will stress the need for reliability accountability and sustainability in the infrastructure of Sierra Leone.
