We're Not Served By Only Knowing Our

One Of The Things I Have An Allergic Reaction To Playing, Especially As A Black Actor, Is The Mandatory Kind Of Best Friend/cop/detective Type. You Will Never See Me In That Movie.

I Like To Think Of Myself As A Physical Actor.

I Love That As A Black Person I've Experienced Not Being A Minority. I Think That's Helped Me To Combat The Minority Mentality People Can Have Here, Which Can Stop Them Scaling The Heights.

Female Directors, Directors Of Color Are A Big Thing For Me, Which Are Both Important Voices And Potent Voices That Need To Be Heard. That's How I Want To Engage Myself As An Actor Going Forward.

I Think What A Lot Of People Don't Realize Is How Much Being The Leader Of This Movement Weighed Upon Him. After All, He [dr. Martin Luter King] Was Only 39 Years-old When He Was Assassinated, And Only 36 During The Selma Campaign. He Always Seemed Older Than He Actually Was, And I Believe Part Of That Had To Do With Just How Much Life He Had To Live In Order To Lead This Movement.
