This role is more visible, and I grew up without a lot of that sort of modeling so I'm relieved and proud to have done this film.

If I were to wait only for roles that clarify my racial makeup, I'd be waiting for a very, very long time.

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.

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

I worked with the same trainer that worked with Denzel Washington in THe Hurricane. It was three months of training, five days a week, 4 to 5 hours a day. This was followed by a month of choreography.

I feel extremely lucky, extremely grateful, and a little bittersweet, too.

I cannot in good conscience participate in a celebratory occasion hosted by a country where people like myself are being systematically denied their basic right to live and love openly.
