Emmy Award-winning director-writer-actor Colman Domingo<\/strong><\/a> appeared in five films in 2023, including the musical The Color Purple<\/em> and the Netflix biographical drama Rustin<\/em>, for which he received critical acclaim for his roles in both. As a successful actor on both stage and screen as well as a director and writer, Domingo has served as a creative force in many projects. In an interview with Deadline<\/a>, Domingo shares his perspective on what he learned as an actor from his prosperous career.<\/p>\n

Domingo explains that keeping busy both in front and behind the camera (or on and off stage) has always been a facet of his career and his recent prolificity is an extension of that. He says, “I started in this industry as a multi-hyphenate, just trying to create work in San Francisco many years ago in the early \u201990s. I took some classes, studied, and started getting cast in things, and my whole career was just about learning while I was in the rooms as a craftsman. I didn\u2019t go to graduate school for acting. I learned everything by being in rooms and watching rehearsals I wasn\u2019t even called for because I was learning. I was watching relationships between directors, actors, playwrights and producers, you name it. And I think that\u2019s been my strength as I look back at my career, it was my conservatory.”<\/p>\n

Domingo is openly gay and has portrayed both heterosexual and homosexual characters, and Domingo notes that as an actor he wants to be able to play a range of roles — and discovers his creativity in many avenues. He explains, “As an actor, I want the person to see me as someone who can play a myriad of things. And I think if there was ever any pushback, if anyone knew something about me and thought, \u2018Well, I don\u2019t know if he can really go to those places,\u2019 I didn\u2019t know. But I felt like I liberated myself from that sort of criticism or power or anything early on in my career. For an actor to play Bayard Rustin and Mister in The Color Purple<\/em> simultaneously shows what I always believed my career could be. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve had any pushback. If I have, I wasn\u2019t aware of it because I\u2019ve been too busy creating my own work and creating my own lane in many ways, which is why I go between being a playwright, screenwriter, singer, dancer, and actor. I always have somewhere to go and create.”<\/p>\n

As something of a concluding thought, Domingo later adds, “There\u2019s always a lot of questions about process with actors. I think that characters always stay within you.”<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
