Viola Davis is an actress who is destined to achieve greatness in Hollywood. It took just eight minutes (the entire length of her role in the 2008 film, “Doubt”) for her to be nominated for an Academy Award, and now, with her starring role in the box office hit, “The Help” (more than 100 million plus and counting), she is virtually assured of receiving similar recognition in Hollywood’s upcoming Awards Season. Born on her grandmother’s farm in South Carolina, reared in Rhode Island and professionally trained at the prestigious Julliard School, Davis began her career with a little seen role in the 1996 film, “The Substance of Fire”. More roles followed (including supporting parts in films like “Out of Sight,” “Antowne Fisher,” and “Syriana,” before her breakout performance in “Doubt” set the world on fire. Now with praise and accolades (including 2 Tony Awards)  from her peers like Meryl Streep, Davis is now being called the next “real thing” in the Arts. The Robertson Treatment is so pleased to have the opportunity to present our exclusive interview with this very gracious and formidable talent.
