My dream role is to portray someone like James Baldwin. I've always been a fan of his writing, and I feel like he's one of our unsung heroes. He's been pretty much forgotten, and I think he needs to be recognized. He had to go all the way to Europe to find recognition and acceptance, and I'd just like to bring him to the forefront.

Cajun culture is dying.

All my characters have playlists.

I'm more liable to hurt myself than someone else.

I don't consider myself a person of fashion because it's too sophisticated. My thing is I look at style like swagger. I like things that pull me, that I gravitate to.

My only goal is to stay focused on my craft and make sure my life is as sharp as it can be to attack any character that is given to me.

I know nothing of what it is to be a gangster.
