I come from an era, in my world, where you just had to define yourself as who you are and what you do. I happen to be an actor. I happen to be someone that loves to act, that also likes music, that also likes to speak, and that also has an opinion.

Working at BBC, at the head of one of the top dramas, is a tradition for great actors.

I've been DJing mostly, and most DJs end up producing. That's just me.

What an honor it was to step into the shoes of Nelson Mandela and portray a man who defied odds, broke down barriers, and championed human rights before the eyes of the world.

I love bikes. I used to own one, but I fell off it when I was younger and that was the end of my bike riding days until now.

Being able to work with Ridley Scott on this film is like being able to play on the Olympic team for actors.

It was deeply important for me to understand where Mandela came from. Because we know where he was going, and that's a famous story, but who was he? Where did he come from? What was his upbringing?
