After spending 30-plus years honing his craft for stage and screen, Colman Domingo is more than ready for his close-up. Considering the actor’s versatile resume, which includes memorable performances in Selma, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Fear the Walking Dead, or his Emmy-winning role on Euphoria and a handful of Tony nominations, it’s bewildering that his recent portrayal of civil rights activist Bayard Rustin, in Netflix’s Rustin, marks his first leading role and Golden Globe nomination. Also, this year, Domingo features in another highly acclaimed film, The Color Purple, where he plays the dastardly Mister.
Here, the actor reflects on his career and playing Black icons.
Deadline: With five films under your belt this year alone, it feels like the year of Colman Domingo. But you’ve been creative in front of and behind the camera as a writer, director, actor and producer for over three decades.

“Blindspotting” seemed to neatly tie the story of Ashley (Jasmine Cephas Jones) and Miles (Rafael Casal) by the end of the Starz comedy’s eventful Season 2 finale. But a surprise cameo in the episode’s final moments presented a nod to the show’s predecessor — and an exciting path forward.
The episode, titled “Return to Ithaca,” followed the aftermath of Miles’ surprise release from prison. He arrived back home near the end of the penultimate episode just as Trish (Jaylen Barron) confronted Ashley about kissing another man while Miles was in prison, which led them to a big rift in the couple’s relationship.
The finale followed as Ashley and Miles, along with the rest of their family, tried to figure out a way to move on after her betrayal and Miles’ surprise return. Though it took some time and difficult conversations, the couple was willing to put their troubles...

“Blindspotting” executive producer and star Daveed Diggs hit the red carpet for the Starz series’ Season 2 premiere on Tuesday night, alongside fellow cast members Jasmine Cephas Jones, Helen Hunt and star and executive producer Rafael Casal.
The premiere was punctuated with a Q&a interview moderated by “Star Trek” alum LeVar Burton, who also stars in the recent season, doing a turn as Earl’s (Benjamin Earl Turner) father.
Tuesday night’s premiere was held at Hollywood’s Neuehouse, but it was a special occasion for Diggs because it was the first time the Tony Award winner attended a “Blindspotting” premiere in person. The show first premiered in 2021, but Diggs was forced to skip due to scheduling reasons.
