I Gravitate Towards Anything That Feels Challenging To Me, That Feels Like It's Gonna Be Saying Something A Bit Different And New To The Audience, And Anything That Moves Me. I Do Movies That I Would Want To See, So I Don't Necessarily Gravitate Towards Any Genre In Particular. I Just Try And Do The Best Work I Can And Also Try To Keep The Audience Guessing.

I Basically Enjoy Doing Films That Are About Something, That Have Complex Roles That I Can Sink My Teeth Into. Basically, I Gravitate To Things That Scare Me. They Might Be Things That I Don't Think I Know How To Play. I Like Trying To Find Within Me Where This Character May Exist. Whether Is It Is A Fictional Character Or Not I Am Not Motivated By That. It Is More About How Challenging It Is. It Is Just So Happens That The More High Profile Things I Have Done Have Been Historical Characters.

The Wonderful Situation That I Find Myself In Now, Is That Choosing The Roles I Want Is More Of A Reality For Me. As A Result, I Take It Very Seriously, Because I Find This Opportunity In Film To Be A Very Powerful And Influential Medium.

The Thing That Would Probably Surprise Most People Was That Dr. Martin Luther King Was A Very Reluctant Leader. He Felt Very Shocked At Times That He Had Been Chosen For This Path, But He Also Understood That He Was Chosen For This Path. He Had Several Moments Of Acute Doubt As To If He Was Up For The Task - When People Were Injured In The Protests He Took It Very Personally, Let Alone When They Were Killed.
