About this episode

This week, Tommy is joined by Academy Award nominated actor Colman Domingo. You know Colman from his powerful and memorable roles in Rustin, The Color Purple, The Butler, Selma, the fan-favorite series Euphoria, and so much more. But today the conversation is all about his film Sing Sing which is already getting Oscars buzz. In Sing Sing, Colman plays Divine G who is imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit. He finds purpose by acting in a theater group alongside other incarcerated men. This is a special edition episode of my podcast because this interview is from an event I moderated, presented by the prestigious 92nd Street Y New York. The 92nd Street Y New York is a world class center for arts and innovation. They offer extensive in-person and online classes and events, including live talks, concerts, and dance performances. I hope you enjoy this powerful and moving conversation.
