According to The Hollywood Reporter, Pathway Entertainment has acquired the script Through The Eyes Of A Son, which was written by Lou Rawls Jr., and gives a behind-the-scenes insight into the darker side of Rawls's story.
Washington's manager Adel Nur said that there was similarities between Rawls and fellow musician Ray Charles. "It's the untold side of a glamorous life. It's like Ray - we knew about the beautiful music, but we didn't know about the turmoil and chaos in [his] life."
Although Rawls built up a legion of fans through his music, he also suffered a poverty-stricken childhood and experienced severe marital problems in later life. Pathway's Robert Egan said: "We're showing the real story - what he was doing to his wife before walking out onstage and wooing the audience with a big smile."
Washington played Dr. Preston Burke in Grey's Anatomy and won the 2007 Image Award for outstanding actor in a drama series.
