Isaiah Washington by Jean Baptiste Lacroix/ WireImage.com
It's been a year since Isaiah Washington left the halls of Seattle Grace, but the actor's making his big-screen comeback in the upcoming sports drama, Patriots.
In the Weinstein Co.-produced film, Washington will play an assistant high school basketball coach for a team that's assembled in Marrero, Lousiana, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Based on a true story, the team's coach pulls together players from five different schools and leads them to the state championships. Washington joins Forest Whitaker, Taraji P. Henson (Boston Legal), Bow Wow and Lil' Wayne, among others, says the Reporter.
Since the Grey's Anatomy incident last year, Washington also appeared in the short-lived Bionic Woman. Could this be his shot at career (and reputation) redemption? Or did you think he'd be back before half-time was over? — Anna Dimond
