There was no script, but I said, 'I'm in, regardless' and was committed to Legends before I saw a single page.It was a lovely surprise to find so much meat on the bone.

A great book provides escapism for me. The artistry and the creativity in a story are better than any drugs.

You develop a lot of scars, being interracial.

There's so much we can't express in our day-to-day interaction with people because it's considered inappropriate. And acting is all about being inappropriate.

The backstory to anyone of mixed race is a lifetime spent being incorrectly perceived and choosing either to allow that misperception to continue or to correct it, so I am aware of identity and race as being much more fluid, I think, than someone who is "purely" one thing or the other. And acting does challenge me to address those particular issues.

I had my one guest star on The Flash, and that became several guest stars, and then they mentioned this new show.

Prison Break is so far-fetched, I had to make viewers believe that Michael is capable of making the impossible possible.
