Summary

Actor-producer who founded House Eleven10 to uplift underrepresented talent and push black and diverse lead stories; first-look deals framed around that mission. In 2020 he published a race/systemic-oppression essay after George Floyd, backed protest-era “No Justice, No Peace” language, and has repeatedly framed roles (*Watchmen*, *Candyman*, Bobby Seale) around black representation and social-justice resonance.
