Personally, I love Toronto.

I'm of Nigerian descent, from the Yoruba tribe. Names are very significant in that culture. It basically states your purpose in life.

You really have to act your pants off to stay alive. I thrive on that; I rise to the occasion of the circumstances.

You don't want it to be a replica or an imitation. You want to create something fresh, original, very unique.

Certainly, I look for different characters 'cause I always like to keep people guessing, and I also don't like to get typecast.

What you desire, as an actor, is to have an impact. That's why you did it. You want to move people, and you want to resonate with your audience. It's always a great compliment to have people appreciate and speak of the characters. I can go anywhere in the world, to places where people don't actually speak English, and people can say, verbatim, what I said on the show as Mr. Eko, which is great. That's fun!

As an actor, you really want to resonate with your audience. I played a character on Oz and people still approach me in the streets today.
