Forest Whitaker—Today
What hasn’t Whitaker accomplished since his Fast Times at Ridgemont High gig? He made his mark in films such as The Color of Money (1986), Platoon (1986), Bird (1988), and The Crying Game (1992). He won an Oscar, a Golden Globe, and a BAFTA for his performance as the Ugandan dictator Idi Amin in The Last King of Scotland. He just finished executive-producing the 2012 documentary Rising from Ashes.
