My goal has always been to try to live up to every ounce of my potential.
I want to shift my career back to shows like The Knick. I prefer the classic drama structure.
Barry Jenkins just cast the right people and framed things the right way.
People do come up to me quite a lot. I get called all of it. I rarely get called my name; it's usually "Hey, Dr. Edwards!" or "Algernon." The most common thing is, "You're the black doctor on that show!" I'll take any of it, because I've definitely been called much worse things.
The horror genre is fun but I'm not sure it is quite right for me.
I think working on Shakespeare was a big part of my time at drama school. I'm so glad that I got to know Shakespeare and got a chance to play great parts in Shakespeare, because it really teaches you - or taught me, anyway - everything.
