When you look at "American Crime" and you have the character Terri LaCroix is a pharmaceutical executive - why does that character always have to be white?

I don't think something is a failure if you put your all into it. I'm a big fan of the saying, "Nothing beats a failure but a try."

And what happens a lot of times when - let's just speak specifically white and black - when white or black people feel misunderstood when it comes to talking about race, they immediately get defensive.

I stay in tune with my family and God.

I'm just really thankful to have the chance to portray a character you don't see every day.

Children at certain ages have distinct actions, and boys at certain ages have a particular way of acting too.

People love to see themselves on screen in a way that makes sense and seems on point.
