As a person of color, there's no getting around the reality of its responsibility.

My sense of personal strength has always come from my family.

I have always been of the mind that good work is good work, whether performed on stage, on television or in film and, like any reasonable actor, I keep my options open.

I've made a career over the last seventeen years of mostly playing men in uniform, especially cops. The one thing for an actor that is death, is if you're bored. The boredom will show in your work.

Film and television essentially feel the same when you're doing it, because it's the same technical approach.

Part of my aspiration as a film actor is to bring subtlety to everything I do - honesty but subtlety.

Your job as an actor is to stay employed.
