My parents are from Jamaica, and I love reggae music.
I definitely have to make sure I have my Jamaican playlist whenever I go, and you've gotta listen to Popcaan. I really love his song 'Silence,' but the whole album, 'Forever,' is good. I love his melodies and flows. He just knows how to make good songs.
It's important to me for the world to see black men in different capacities - capacities in which they're probably not used to seeing them.
I enjoy challenging perspective - challenging ideas of what it means to be a black man.
I'm black, yeah, but I'm just an actor, so everything I do doesn't have to be color-specific or specific to history. But I got to a point where a lot of people wanted to offer me period pieces, like that's the only thing I could do.
I really believe in speaking things into existence.
