Throughout her entire career, Alfre Woodard has approached the bench as a judge on screen twice — in 2018's "Saint Judy," and in a vital role as the order-keeping Judge Shoat in "Primal Fear." Lately, she has also been outfitted as President ("State of Affairs"), a prison warden ("Clemency"), a professor ("Burning Sands"), a lion (Sarabi in the live action remake of "The Lion King"), and a foil to superheroes ("Captain America: Civil War" and "Luke Cage").
Woodard has been nominated for an Oscar (1983's "Cross Creek"), two spoken word Grammys, and numerous Emmys. She's won four Emmys in total, two of which were with her "Primal Fear" director Gregory Hoblit, who produced "Hill Street Blues" and directed the "L.A. Law" pilot. While she has much life to live and more roles to play, when it's time to go, two-thirds of her fortune will go to her granddoggy Dawson.
