BY GEORGE DICKIE

Many of your scenes are with Victor Garber, who plays your character’s estranged father. How is he as a scene partner?

Oh, he’s fabulous He is very generous. He’s always on time. He’s the kind of person that says, you know, if you’re five minutes early you’re late. (Laughs) So he’s always on time, he’s overprepared and he knows everybody’s name and he’s there to work, which I love. There is no diva-ness about Victor Garber. He is there to work and he’s always prepared, so I love that about him, and he makes everybody step up to that. So we all have to show up willing to work and be super-prepared.

He’s also really fun. He’s got a great sense of humor and he’s very sardonic, very sarcastic and selfdeprecating and I love all of those things about him So we all have a similar work ethics around here.

So your relationship is the complete opposite of that of your characters?

Yeah, I feel like all we do is sort of yell at each other on this show. But we’re very tight in real life and he’s become a bit of a mentor to me and I go to him when I have questions and things about how to handle the work of the show and the brunt of the show and being in all day every day. He’s got some really great advice on how to maintain my energy levels and all of that and I feel like he’s quite protective over us and it’s been pretty wonderful to get to know him as well as we have.

Brogdon hopes to be on point with Celtics

On a team that made the NBA Finals last season, Malcolm Brogdon could be the final piece that puts the Boston Celtics over the top

Acquired in a July trade with the Indiana Pacers, the 2017 NBA Rookie of the Year is the type of point guard who is a solid passer, ball handler and defender, finishes well at the rim and commits few turnovers. Over the last two seasons, he’s one of a handful of players who averaged at least 18 points, five rebounds and five assists.

Last year, his numbers were 19.1, 5.1 and 5.9.

He considers himself a point guard first and over his career he has proven himself to be a guy who can take care of the ball and lead a team on the court. But in Boston, he’ll join a backcourt rotation with Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart and Derrick White, thus forcing him to play shooting guard more often.

He did that with the Milwaukee Bucks in the first three years of his NBA career and toward the end of his three-year tenure with the Pacers but it was not his desired role. He’d rather be the guy who gets his teammates involved, who competes on both ends of the court, rather than the shooter He wants to be a leader and a winner

He’ll certainly get that chance in Boston, which is where Brogdon and the Celtics will tip off the 202223 season against the Philadelphia 76ers in the opener of a doubleheader airing Tuesday, Oct. 18, from TD Garden on TNT

‘The Hair Tales’ connect coiffures and culture

Following her award-honored run in “black-ish,” Tracee Ellis Ross is getting to the roots of another matter

The actress turns interviewer as the host and an executive producer of “The Hair Tales,” a series from the relatively new Onyx Collective initiative that makes its debut Saturday, Oct. 22, on both Hulu and OWN. An executive producer of the show with others including Oprah Winfrey and author Michaela angela Davis, Ross talks with such notables as Winfrey, Issa Rae and Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) and Ross’ fellow “blackish” alum Marsai Martin about their hair experiences and how those have impacted their connections to Black culture and society (Pressley lost her hair to the condition alopecia areata.)

“I feel like I, like so many others, can chronicle my journey of selfacceptance through my journey with my hair,” Ross explains. “I don’t think it was until I was a teenager that I started to face my own personal journey with my experience with my hair, not seeing myself mirrored back to me through culture, through media, through newscasters ... anyone. I saw it at home (with Ross’ mother, iconic singer-actress Diana Ross), but I didn’t see it out in the world.

“At the time, I took that personally, and really sort of put on

my own self that I wasn’t enough. I wasn’t correct. As I’ve gotten older, my own sort of realization about myself was that I was one of many I was part of a vast community, a culture of people who also weren’t seeing themselves, and it played into the larger story historically, about how black people have been seen in this country, and how the culture of beauty and the industry of beauty has not necessarily mirrored back the reality of the power and the beauty of who we are. ”

Fellow “The Hair Tales” executive producer Davis says, “Often, Black women’s hair and Black women’s existence is positioned like a challenge or a problem that we have to solve. We’re talking about it in the layered way in which we live, so there’s joy, there’s resilience, there’s history, there’s memory, there’s hysteria, there’s ancestry. We’re getting at all of it, and that’s the beauty of it. When we get to tell our own stories, we get to tell them inside the complexity in which we actually live.”

Indeed, Ross emphasizes, “We are using, in this show, hair as an entrance as an on-ramp into our souls, to explore the largeness of our humanity I hope that ‘The Hair Tales’ really offers a new definition that beauty is a reflection of self, the imprint of the soul, instead of an idea that is concocted from history and systemic limitations.”

Jennifer

What did you think of the fact that “The Jennifer Hudson Show” premiered on your birthday?

You know what? It blew me away! What a birthday gift, first of all. I feel like God planned it. It was a confirmation to me that it was meant to be, and I felt like that was a good sign We want that positive energy out there and as a gift, what else could I possibly want for my birthday? It was just like, “Whoa!”

What does doing a weekday talk show mean for your schedule overall?

My life is a schedule in every form, so my biggest questions were, “How are you going to do this?” and “Why

are you going to do this?” I’m used to those questions, and you just have to decide whether you’re going to get into (the project in question). It’s all about balancing it all out, and the only person who can do that is me.

Having become one of the entertainment world’s very few EGOTs recently by winning a Tony Award as a producer of Broadway’s “A Strange Loop,” do you hope to produce a play again?

There’s so much more I want to do. I want to create more content in many forms. I want to be embedded in this industry, not just in the sense of Broadway, but maybe in producing film and television. I want to see new concepts in entertainment and

be involved in bringing those to the forefront. Hopefully, I’ll be able do that with my (talk) show as well, and use it as a platform for so many different things.

Just before starting “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” you made an upcoming sci-fi movie called “Breathe.” Do you plan to keep doing other things while also doing a daily show?

It doesn’t mean I’m going to stop acting. I love everything that do. Somebody said to me, “What did you do after you became an EGOT?” And I said, “More work!” I like to expand and challenge myself. Like I tell my fans, “There’s nothing wrong with trying. That’s how we grow.”
