Adrian had spent almost the entire afternoon on the set of "Philadelphia Story," not only observing Demi direct and sharing his opinions with him but also trying to build good relations with Hanks and Washington. Well, it wasn't quite pulling strings, just laying the groundwork for the future, and Adrian thought perhaps he could bring Denzel Washington into his fold.
Though Washington already had an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor to his credit, he was still a black man with relatively few high box office successes to his name, and he hadn't reached his most glorious moments yet, thus pulling his agent to the agency or directly poaching him from his current agent was entirely feasible.
