“Something authentic can come of a black experience with someone who’s not black at the helm, if they are willing to listen.”—SterlingKBrown.
marks your third turn as a father in the past couple of years. What’s drawing you to these roles?
I would say that a lot of black folks can’t just allow [themselves] to feel all this stuff. It can be overwhelming. I would put Ronald in that category. I would also say that there is learning that transpires in the course of the film because of the tragedy that transpires. He sees that his family is falling apart.
While I saw that there was potential for something more nuanced. I didn’t know if everybody was cognizant of the fact that now that you’re making this character, African American people could receive it differently than if it was a young white actor. I felt very protective and very fearful for Kelvin, who had already signed on to do the film. I just wanted to make sure that he wasn’t being naïve with what he was stepping into, that he was stepping into it with eyes wide open.
And I still think that’s something that I will never shake. But I love that there was a care and attention to make sure that that Tyler, Kelvin’s character in the movie, was a fully realized human being, a beautiful young man who lost his way and made a tragic mistake. But that mistake does not define who he is.
“Something authentic can come of a black experience with someone who’s not black at the helm, if they are willing toKel had the most influence. A lot of Ronald is based on his dad, even though his dad says, “That dude’s not me.” It was really funny to hear him talk about [that]. I think that what I was allowed to do was sort of interpret the character.
One of the lines that really stood out to me was a variation of the “twice as good for half as much” line, which is something that I grew up hearing. As a father, do you think that kind of messaging interacts with the inability that we see to express emotions?
