Isaiah Washington is teaming up with Forrest Whitaker in Weinstein Co.’s drama Patriots, which is based on a true story about a Louisiana high school basketball team. Set to begin filming in New Orleans this week, Patriots marks Washington’s first appearance in a studio movie since he exited Grey’s Anatomy last spring. The actor will play Assistant Coach Simmons of John Ehret High, who helps lead his squad to the state championship a year after Hurricane Katrina displaced the school’s students.

Antonio Pope aside, I am loving the roles he's been getting lately. Parts that allow him to really show his acting range. He's done justice to several villain roles in the past but I think he's at his best when doing drama.

Isaiah Washington is such an underrated actor! When he was booted out of Grey's Anatomy...I stopped watching the show. He was a major part of that show and I felt he was dealt with unfairly when they let him go.
