The Equalizer - Edward Woodward Highlights

The Equalizer, the 80s TV series that started the franchise, was there long before Denzel Washington and Queen Latifa attempted it. This compilation gives you an idea of what Edward Woodward brought to the role of Robert McCall.

He might have looked like a chartered accountant, but Woodward packed a restrained intensity that very few actors can manage.

In spite of all-too-often weak plots and villains, and some terrible dialogue, Woodward brought believability to his scenes.

It's a shame to see what's been done to this show as of late. Even though Denzel did a mostly passable job, he fell far short of what Woodward brought to the role. Queen Latifa goes down as the worst casting decision possible to play The Equalizer, one I shall never understand.

To redeem things a bit, these clips show Robert McCall when portrayed by an actor with the range and skill of Edward Woodward.

Enjoy!
