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

I've never been really great at trusting anybody, just because of the way I grew up.

I just want to keep the diversity and the options open. In terms of what I'm looking for, I'd like to do a lead action role.

Well, filming in Hawaii, you know, is a blessing. It's one of the most beautiful places on this planet. It has a very mystic energy which informs you as an actor.

The only way I know how to deliver is to focus; some people can turn it on or off - I'd rather stay in character.

And then, with a European director and Norwegian actors speaking in Norwegian, it was going to be very interesting. So, whatever initial trepidation or fear I may have had was alleviated by those factors. I just said, "This is something to get on board with."

It's a significant question: should black people only adopt black children, and white people white children?
