I'm kind of in a middle space, being marketed as a biracial actor. Roles are written either stereotypically black, or they're written 'normal,' which is just code for white.

A lot of times you come against actors who come from a different direction, and you tend to meet in the middle.

I've been on jobs where there's that one actor who is just a miserable, miserable no-good, dirty bastard, and it just turns the whole process sour.

It's really rare that you come across a Southern character that's not stereotyped, vilified or aggrandized.

I've worked with wonderful actors like Marlon Brando and Henry Fonda.

I really respect actors much more now that I am one because I realise what hard work goes into being part of the industry.

It's a little daunting coming on to work with actors that you respect so much.

I mean, I'm an actor. I do what comes along.

I just love working with actors in general.

I get on with actors, and when I'm doing a theatre show, it's great being with them all the time. But we're all alike, and it's much nicer being with people who are different.
