WOW this man is a phenomenal actor.
I haven't seen him in anything before this is us, as far as I know. I am completely blown away by his subtlety and complex range, he conveys so much w/ so little. He is by far the best actor in a generally very well acted show.
I could be wrong but I feel like the limited complex roles for black lead actors in hollywood may have contributed to him not being a well known leading man by now. Maybe not and he was picky, idk.
