Denzel Washington played Lincoln Rhyme in The Collector?

That's incorrect. Denzel Washington did not play Lincoln Rhyme in *The Collector*.

* Morgan Freeman played Lincoln Rhyme in the 2001 film *The Collector*, which was based on the 1997 novel of the same name by Jeffery Deaver.

* Denzel Washington played the character in the 2021 television series *Lincoln Rhyme: Hunt for the Bone Collector*, but this was not a direct adaptation of the novel or the 2001 film.
