Delroy Lindo

It was a three-page monologue.

Within a certain amount of time.

And then we had to turn the car around, turn all the equipment around, and go in the opposite direction and do it again.

And then turn around and come back and go in the opposite direction and do it again.

On probably the sixth take, and I'm forever indebted to Mike playing Stack, Mike didn't stop the car.

We got to what was supposed to be the end point, and he veered off into the underbrush and kept going.

Ryan kept the cameras rolling.

And as a result of that, it gave the scene more time to breathe and for us extra time, more time to be in that moment.

The only thing that I've said is that

At the NAACP Awards, Ryan and I were presenting an award.

And right before we went on stage, I said to Ryan that I wanted to just say something.

He didn't know where I was going.

I said, let me just, before we start reading the teleprompter, I have something I want to just say.

And what I said to the audience were words to the effect that...

Mike and I, sinners, appreciate all the love and support that we have received as a result of what happened at BAFTA.

And the fact that I could stand there in a room predominantly of our people.

The NAACP Awards.

Yeah.

I could stand there and feel safe, feel loved, feel supported, and just simply affirm that

the love and the support that they have given us.
