Colman Domingo came over to our house. The first thing you learn about him is that he goes for the embrace. It’s a Philly thing. This man is truly West Philadelphia, born and raised, to a level where he literally went to high school with Will Smith. He is also a true actor’s actor. He’s the most fashionable man. He’s Mr. Vacation. He’s 56 and looks 38. We want to know how to look like him. We want to know how he transforms into an entirely different human being right in front of your eyes. We want to know, would he wear a fat suit or gain the weight for real? We want to know whether he considers Dave a historical figure. In short, we want to know everything about this fascinating man. Thanks for watching us learn about the craft of acting from Colman. We respect you!
