Actor and producer Isaiah Washington is in Chicago promoting his film 'Corsicana,' his directorial debut that chronicles the life of Bass Reeves, the first Black deputy U.S. marshal west of the Mississippi.

The actor and producer Isaiah Washington is seen at the Showplace Icon Theatre in Chicago while promoting his latest film and directorial debut"Corsicana" on Dec. 14, 2022.

The film, Washington’s directorial debut, gives a glimpse of the town that is considered the “birthplace of the Texas oil industry,” where Mobil and Exxon got their start. Washington, a Texas native, said he didn’t know about the historic Reeves two and a half years ago, and that disappointed him. Illiterate, Reeves was well off, having made his money as a marksman and tracker.

Washington attests that “Corsicana’s” message of Black bravery and triumph is an important narrative that Hollywood needs more of, one of empowerment that centers on a real person, not fantasy.
