346835, But for an actor like Cheadle, whose career is currently at its peak?

He just got off the wildly successful Ocean's flicks, a Best PIcture winner where he was the central character, AND two critically-acclaimed flicks where he was the lead.
Has there ever been an Oscar-nominated dramatic actor at the height of his career who said "Let's do a TV series!"? I'm not being sarcastic, I just literally can't recall one.
Maybe Forest Whitaker? Or was he signed up for The Shield before Last King of Scotland? But even for Forest, that Oscar was the first big showy role in his career. Don's now had 2 leads (3 if you count Crash) in a row alongside those Ocean's flicks, and I would imagine would wanna keep that steamroller plowing along.
