Viola Davis Shares Her Candid Reaction to Being Called 'One of the Greatest of All Time'

Viola Davis reacted to being called 'one of the greatest of all time' while speaking exclusively to PEOPLE at the 'G20' premiere in Los Angeles on March 27.

She plays U.S. President Danielle Sutton, who must use both her military training and governing expertise "to protect her family, defend her country and safeguard world leaders" when the G20 Summit in South Africa is taken over by terrorists, per a synopsis for the film. When G20 was announced earlier this year, director Patricia Riggen teased in a statement, “This is Viola Davis as you’ve never seen her — heroically kicking tons of ass in a global thrill ride." The movie also stars Anthony Anderson, Marsai Martin, Antony Starr, Ramón Rodriguez, Douglas Hodge, Elizabeth Marvel, Sabrina Impacciatore and Christopher Farrar.
