I hadn’t worked for a year when I A racial community provides not only a sense of identity, that luxury of looking into another’s face and seeing yourself reflected back, but a sense of security and support. You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has in my life.

I hadn’t worked for a year when I had my Prison Break audition and it was the easiest audition I’ve ever had. I got the script on Friday, went to the audition on Monday and got the part on Tuesday. I was shooting the pilot a week later. I didn’t have time to be nervous - it happened so quickly. I want to aspire to something like what Denzel Washington does, which is try to find scripts written for white actors - or Jodie Foster, who reads scripts for male actors. I feel as though we’re living in a time where there is very little distinction paid between the personal and the professional.

I’ve been spoiled by this project. I was given the script and went in to read, realizing that this was a powerful story and one that wasn’t told very often. Nobody’s ever asked me to pay for a meal before I’ve eaten it, I’ve never been pulled over just because I was driving the wrong kind of car in the wrong kind of area at the wrong time of night. I’ve been spared to a large extent the business end of the race stick. This role is more visible, and I grew up without a lot of that sort of modeling so I’m relieved and proud to have done this film.

I’m not particularly comfortable in bars or clubs. I much prefer being home playing Scrabble, having dinner with a couple friends, going to see a movie, or losing a whole weekend to Season 14 of Law and Order or The Simpsons. I’m very pleased with being a part of the Bean Pole family. It’s a relationship that makes sense to me. I’m very pleased to have my name associated with Bean Pole Jeans.

Remember Pretty, I am serving life plus one. So if I get busted for attempted escape, I’ma throw in a homicide, no problem, that’s like a parking ticket to me! I’ll protect you. All you gotta do is take this pocket right here, and your life’ll be all peaches and cream. I walk, you walk with me. I’ll keep you real close so no one up in here can hurt you. Of all the things that mystify me in this world since I’ve been released, is that kale is the rage. Kale. Sometimes a man has to surrender to fate. See what it has in store for him.
