I Turned Down A Lot Of Easier Opportunities In Order To Go For The Things That I Really And Ultimately Wanted To Do. And What's Really Nice Is That It's Starting To Work.

Getting To Do What I Think Was My Fifth Bbc Drama With Nikki Amuka-bird - We've Done 'shoot The Messenger,' 'five Days,' 'the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency,' 'born Equal' And Now 'small Island' - Was Another Highlight For Me. And Filming In Jamaica Was Great, Too.
