Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal on their record-breaking "Othello"

With stars like Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal, maybe it's no wonder "Othello" just became the highest-grossing Broadway play ever, pulling in $2.8 million in a single week.

Washington said, "It's the most excited I've been this century. Seriously. I haven't been this excited about anything I've done as I am about this."

That's saying something coming from Washington. Known for roles in films like "Glory" and "Training Day" (both of which won him Oscars), he's been called the greatest actor of the 21st century. But be careful before you call him a "Hollywood actor."
