Actor O.L. Duke, who appeared with Denzel Washington in the movies ``Malcolm X,'' ``Antwone Fisher'' and ``Out of Time,'' was killed in a car accident Friday, police and relatives said. He was 51.
Duke was returning home after performing in the off-Broadway play, ``Waitin' 2 End Hell,'' when a car cut him off, said his wife, Monica Duke. His vehicle jumped a divider and struck an oncoming car, according to police.
Monica Duke said her husband was an avid actor who loved attending the theater. He often spoke enthusiastically about his work with other actors, including Washington, whom he counted as a friend, she said.
Duke found career success after he replaced Washington in the original production of ``A Soldier's Play,'' his wife said.
He also appeared in the HBO series "Oz."
