Quote

I'm always curious how we sometimes have a different point of view when it comes to justice. And that's why people root for 'Dexter.'

I've played a lot of cops. In fact, my father was a cop.

If you really want to see more work that reflects your values, you have to produce it. You have to be a contributor to the business.

Don't say you want to be an actor and not know how to read a script. Don't give up 15 minutes before the miracle comes. Everyone's career ebbs and flows, especially if you're African American. That's the time to dig in and keep your instrument sharp.
