'The Interceptor' has an excitement and grittiness to it, but it's also very entertaining. It lives in this sphere of a slightly heightened reality where, although you completely identify and recognise all the characters in it, they're fun and exciting to watch.
There are certain directors who just don't cast diversely in prominent roles. Ever. Often it's just because they don't have a diverse social circle, so they don't think of black or brown people as husbands, best friends, bosses.
'Handmaid's' is the most profound television I've had the privilege to be a part of.
I'm interested in colour-blind hiring of directors, producers, and writers. Go to the source. Then we won't need to have conversations about colour-blind casting.
'The Interceptor' is gritty but also entertaining. The action is great as well.
I loved doing my own stunts, and so, as much as the insurance people would allow me, I would get involved.
I think what often happens when people leave their spouse for someone else is they tend to go for the opposite of what they already have.
I think the two main tools actors have are the imagination of what other people have gone through, to connect with and through research, and there's one's own experience.
We all fail, and we all have weaknesses. I think that's what helps us relate to characters we see on TV or read in books, is that we recognize our frailties within them and maybe don't feel so alone. We get to learn from their mistakes.
My family are quite academic, and I was set to study economics and politics at university.
As a younger man, I thought the best thing art could do was to challenge people's mindsets, and I still do, but I've come round to the value of entertainment. A show like 'The Interceptor,' which gives the audience that release, after a hard day, of just sitting down and enjoying themselves - that adds value to lives, too.
Oakland's got a lot of character.
I feel like within each of us is a million different people that we could reveal and that we can be sometimes... And for me, the process of acting isn't so much about finding the person outside of myself and mimicking them but, rather, releasing parts of myself and adding them to the character.
I came to the States less to find fortune and fame and more to kind of have a life experience of seeing something new.
I've always had an explorative drive to my art, as opposed to wanting to achieve some certain goal.
It's funny because I was looking back on my Instagram,, and I saw that I had a bunch of feminist posts but that was all before 'Handmaid's Tale.'
I'm hungry as an artist to find opportunities to contribute to the world in a more meaningful way than just numbing people through entertainment.
I think you can judge a man by the size of what offends him.
It's hard for men sometimes to talk about feminism, just as it's hard for people who aren't from ethnic minorities to talk about racial prejudice. It's a difficult conversation to have, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't have it.
I think what we forget is that everybody loses when we keep unnecessary privilege. The cost to society overall is much greater.
