When you're playing Shakespeare, it forces you to think and feel and speak all at the same time, which really is what acting is. It expands your imagination and expands your size of thinking.

I personally feel like black people in America have contributed so much for so long, and haven't always gotten credit for it.

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.

I have known Tarell Alvin McCraney for ten years but the involvement with Moonlight came more with Barry Jenkins, the director. He was a fan of the show I did called The Knick. He was also with Plan B Entertainment, who produced Selma. That is how I got involved.

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

Now, perhaps more than ever, we need more and more examples of healing. We need to learn what it takes to heal.

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.
Andre Holland
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
All the craft skills that I have, I feel like I developed and honed in drama school. It's the most important thing for me.
