It's awesome that my job is to make people have reactions.

I'm getting the training I need to progress as an actor. If something comes up and I have to drop, I'll drop.

There are so many stereotypes of how you have to be as a black man, growing up in the community as a man.

I was skinny and black and didn't play sports. And I was bullied.

I like to have fun and be myself and express myself through how I dress.

Hollywood is showing respect for all different types of art.

We're raised to believe that black men have to be one specific way.

I feel like a lot of black men 'put on' because of what they see and because of what people tell them they have to be.

I bury things in the back of my mind I don't really want to deal with.

There's so many strict ideas and rules, whether it's from religion or it's just generations and generations.
