Following the widely successful stage production of August Wilson’s The Piano Lesson, Malcolm Washington has chosen the story as his feature directorial debut, with the film produced by his father, Denzel Washington, and Netflix.
Three actors reprise their roles from the stage production, bringing their immense talent to the screen: Samuel L. Jackson, John David Washington, and, last but not least, today’s guest, Ray Fisher!
Ray was kind enough to join us on the show to discuss the evolution of his relationship with the character of Lymon, the importance of the collaborators and peers who surround him, and his journey through the ever-changing waves of the entertainment industry.
