I look in music magazines now and see things on Luther Allison, and my name's getting out there more, thanks to all the good people at Alligator Records and at my management company.

I have done a lot of work internally to find out who I am, what voice Eamonn Walker has and how he wants to put it out there.

I have always been a big fan of the BBC program 'Luther' with Idris Elba.

I'm just a Chicago actor who's a playwright. Even with the success of 'August,' the people in town who come to our theater know me by sight, because they've seen me onstage so much.

If people can finally recognize you on radio without being told who it is, that's what you aim for.

I really don't get recognized much.

I'm just trying to play against ethnicity. I got to play a guy from Louisiana in 'The Pacific' named Merriell Shelton, and now I'm playing Elliot Alderman.

If I get one more person telling me I look like Eliot Spitzer, I'm just going to have to play the guy one day.
