My goal has always been to try to live up to every ounce of my potential.

People sometimes say, "What is your dream role?" I don't really have a dream role. I'll know it when I see it.

Things maybe take longer usually when it comes to TV - especially network TV. There are usually multiple levels that you have to go through in terms of the casting director, the producers, the studio, the network, reading with other people.

I want to shift my career back to shows like The Knick. I prefer the classic drama structure.

I look at it [Moonlight] and young Alex Hibbert who plays the young Chiron gives such a beautiful performance. By the time you get to the third story there have been so many great performances that you forget this kid was brilliant. Everybody does their job. It really is a true ensemble. I wish that were a category at the Oscars.

I have known Tarell Alvin McCraney for ten years but the involvement with Moonlight came more with Barry Jenkins, the director. He was a fan of the show I did called The Knick. He was also with Plan B Entertainment, who produced Selma. That is how I got involved.

I definitely want to work with people who are artists and who are interested in being their best version of themselves.
