VIDEO : Denzel Washington Paid for Chadwick Boseman?s Acting Studies

In a roundabout way, Denzel Washington may have helped Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman become an actor. Before Boseman was announced as the MCU?s T?Challa in the lead-up to Captain America: Civil War, the young actor was already a rising star thanks to his lead role in the James Brown biopic Get On Up. But it?s safe to say the runaway success of Black Panther has turned Boseman into a household name.
