My interviews of Se7en premiere. So, my older brothers and sisters were extremely popular in school. By the time I got there, the nuns, we had all nuns and priests at that time.

I had to find what worked for me, so as a kindergartener, all of a sudden, there was a nun named Sister Aquanette who put on a kindergarten play every year. And I was in the kindergarten play. The thing that I was in, all we did was go around in circles chanting like Indians. This was when I was 5 or 6 years old. I can do this. I can do this better than any of these guys.

And I went around that circle doing that, and then I realized; finally, people are paying attention to me. Somebody is paying attention to me. I matter, and it was on stage. I did a couple of plays, a play in eighth grade and maybe one other play. But then when I went to high school. There was a priest named Father Barry Snyder, and he did a play every year. That would take up awhile. I should be doing the lead.

But I played one of the guards. I did, Bernardo. He was in the first scene of the play, and the first line in the play is mine. To tell you the truth, my mother told this story until the day she passed. Her and my grandmother came to see the play when I opened my mouth and spoke that first line in the play. And nobody could understand me. But when I hit that stage, it was a whole new world for me. So, when I opened my mouth, it was clear as a bell. So, that was my introduction to Shakespeare.

So, not only that, Father Barry took that play on the road. We went to cities in Minnesota, we went to Wisconsin and through the state of Illinois. We put the play on in all these places. As a kid growing up in Chicago, the only White people I saw was this Jewish guy, who owned the store next door to where I lived.

The insurance man that came once a month and the nuns and the priest at school. And the only other White people we ever saw was when we went downtown with my grandmother to shop every other month or so. Well, these White people had huge houses. They ate meat at every meal; their kids had their own rooms.

Hell, I was sharing rooms with a couple of my brothers. And there was land around the houses. Well, hell, if we ate meat once a week, we were lucky. We were eating beans and greens and stuff, and I thought that was normal. So, as an actor, I can pull from all of that. My last 9-to-5 job, I was one of the highest Black executives in Hollywood.
