More quotes by Andre Holland
I personally feel like black people in America have contributed so much for so long, and haven't always gotten credit for it.
Andre Holland
I think working on Shakespeare was a big part of my time at drama school. I'm so glad that I got to know Shakespeare and got a chance to play great parts in Shakespeare, because it really teaches you - or taught me, anyway - everything.
Andre Holland
I want to shift my career back to shows like The Knick. I prefer the classic drama structure.
Andre Holland
Barry Jenkins just cast the right people and framed things the right way.
Andre Holland
Working on Shakespeare and learning about Shakespeare was the big takeaway for me.

I had a cheat sheet because I knew Tarell [Alvin McCraney]. His movie is largely autobiographical. I knew about certain events in his life and some of the people he talks about. I had visited the place where he lived many times so I understood innately what that was.
Andre Holland
The horror genre is fun but I'm not sure it is quite right for me.

There are so many brilliant, trained actors of color in America. If you just think about it, every year in the spring Julliard and NYU and Yale and hundreds of schools across the country graduate classes of trained actors, and in those classes are actors of color. So to say that there aren't enough actors of color is factually inaccurate.

I look at it [Moonlight] and young Alex Hibbert who plays the young Chiron gives such a beautiful performance. By the time you get to the third story there have been so many great performances that you forget this kid was brilliant. Everybody does their job. It really is a true ensemble. I wish that were a category at the Oscars.
Andre Holland
You have to see through one's faults before you see their need.
Andre Holland
I love to sing. I'm definitely not a very good singer, but when I'm in my shower I get down for sure.
Andre Holland
People sometimes say, What is your dream role? I don't really have a dream role. I'll know it when I see it.
Andre Holland
I just want to play interesting characters, and I want to work with the best directors I can work with.
Andre Holland
It is that rare film [Moonlight] that comes along once in a while that catches the zeitgeist. This movie is that. I certainly have my fingers crossed that it is. Everyone needs to see this movie.
Andre Holland
People do come up to me quite a lot. I get called all of it. I rarely get called my name it's usually Hey, Dr. Edwards! or Algernon. The most common thing is, You're the black doctor on that show! I'll take any of it, because I've definitely been called much worse things.
Andre Holland
Things maybe take longer usually when it comes to TV - especially network TV. There are usually multiple levels that you have to go through in terms of the casting director, the producers, the studio, the network, reading with other people.
