you can tell michael grew up watching old hollywood films and disney movies because he had that same theatricality and expressiveness old actors had
i really wish he had made more films, he was such a good actor
I love that Michael documented moments throughout his career that capture his unprecedented success because he knew that if he didn’t have the evidence for it, people today would rewrite history & deny a Black man ever reached those heights.
the way barely any interviewers asked him about his art… he clearly loved explaining his creative process, but the media stayed fixated on his personal life and appearance :(
He did small roles and guest work for YEARS and didnt catch his big ones (This is Us, Story of OJ) til he was FORTY in 2016. And TEN years after that he’s at what people would say is the peak of his career. At FIFTY.
