You would never expect a black woman to be the hero.
I come from the theater, and I've done a lot of character work in the theater, but Hollywood stuff in film and TV, they've been more leading lady/ingenue type roles.
Chemistry on film is like chemistry in real life, it's either there or it isn't.
When you're on a set it can be very tedious and slow. It's just not as big as when you see it on film.
To make a movie is very grueling at times. Long, long hours and cold weather.
People may know me from films, but theater is my first love. I did about 35 plays before I even landed my first screen role. I'm very comfortable on stage, and theater is not something you can just wing.
