Does Denzel Washington speak Spanish?

I'm fairly certain that he's got a few lines of Spanish in Training Day as well. Maybe check that out and see if his accent is the same?

Do you have a link to a clip or audiofile of him speaking? I (or the other native speakers around here) could probably tell whether he actually speaks the language or not.

I don't have a video/audio clip, sorry. For what it's worth, it's obvious even to me (a nonnative who's lived in Spanish-speaking countries for four-plus years) that in the movie, his character's thickly accented Spanish is not perfect, perhaps not intended to be. Kind of interesting is that in a couple of scenes he makes mistakes and then corrects himself. For example: Denzel: "¿Quién es la voz?" Woman he's interrogating: "No sé. No sé." Denzel: "No sé -- no sabes." Dunno what else to say. Maybe check out the movie? Jerky cinematography, but nice shots of Mexico City landmarks such as the Torre Latina, Parque México and Popocatéptl.

I found a clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rY9gPXoiPPE (he starts speaking around 2:45). I'm not sure, his tone doesn't sound realistic. But it's true, he corrects himself: ¿Eres miembro de la Hermendad? ¿De la Hermandad?
