Colman Domingo Rustin Interview: How Is This His First Lead Role in a Film?
0Colman Domingo is an Emmy-winning actor with dozens of titles to his name, including a couple of Oscar-winning films. He's also an actor with sky-high screen presence and a knack for making roles feel whole, no matter the amount of screen time he gets. It truly came as a shock when I heard someone mention Rustin marked his very first lead role in a film.
While it may have been a long wait to see Domingo at #1 on the call sheet, he couldn’t have found a better role to do it with than Bayard Rustin. Domingo plays the under-recognized history-making activist and organizer while he serves as the architect behind the 1963 March on Washington. In one of the best performances of 2023, Domingo delivers pitch-perfect work capturing Rustin’s electric drive, charisma, and heart.
With Rustin now available to stream on Netflix, Domingo carved out some time to celebrate the film via an extended interview. During our chat, Domingo revisited past projects that helped pave the way to his first lead role, discussed the experience of making the movie with director George C. Wolfe, and pinpointed some personal filmmaking goals that now feel more within reach because of his Rustin experience.
You can hear about it all straight from Domingo in this Rustin interview!
