Race Is A Very Sensitive Subject.

I Know In My Own Marriage I Stayed In It To Provide My Son With What I Thought Was A Stable Background And To Give Him What I Thought Was The Family Life A Child Should Have With Two Parents. But That Isnt Always The Best Way, And It Took Me Taking My Son To Therapy After The Divorce To Really See It.

I'm Just Really Thankful To Have The Chance To Portray A Character You Don't See Every Day.

I Think I've Been Lucky In The Regard To Have A Team That Sees Me As An Artist.

And, For Example, Like, When You're Having The Conversation With Your Child About Getting Their Driver's License. Well, A White Family - Their Biggest Fear Is Just That You're Driving Safely And That They're Minding The Rules Of The Road, Whereas A Black Family - Their Biggest Fear Is That Their Child Is Going To Get Pulled Over And Treated Unfairly For A Reason That They Won't Understand.

I Had Been Going On Auditions And Things Like That Since I Was Probably 10 - 11 Years Old.
