I feel television is in a fantastically rich vein of what it's presenting both by opportunity to actors and to audiences.

I consider myself a human being, a Christian, a father, a husband, so many things, before being a black person.

You're always looking for roles and other creatives who are going to be challenging to you, because you're always a better actor after the experience.

I hear God as an audible voice.

We can't afford to deny our past in a bid to be empowered. But what we can do is contextualize the past.

Considering that I'm British and I talk the way I do, I love it when a director takes a chance on me.

I'm one of those actors who says, "Point me toward the work that matters to me and I don't care where you're putting it. Television show. Movie. Projected on the back of someone's garage." If that's where the work is that's exciting to me and moving, I want to be there.
