Dennis Haysbert

I love romance films, especially between people of color, because we don't really explore that enough. I would love to do that.

I'd like to get into the superhero genre. I'd love to do either a DC or a Marvel character.

I love emotion. I love being in love. And showing that on screen. I think it's wonderful.

I've done a lot of different things in my life. I've parachuted, done some deep-sea diving. Inasmuch as it's safe to do, I can do it.

When you work on big commercial movies, of course there's more money involved and you can still do some good work. But with an independent, you get films that are really close to the writers' and directors' heart. Somehow it becomes a little deeper. A little more meat and not as much flash.

I have children, so I'm constantly worrying about the world they are going to inherit.

On my wall, along with my favorite football players and baseball players, I had Marlon Brando and Sir Laurence Olivier. These were childhood idols.

I think the first time 'white' was used was in the 1600s. Generally, we were described by where we came from... All of a sudden, this word 'white' came through, and now everyone is going for their own sense of power... to figure out who's on top.

I have always thought of myself as an athlete - even at the ripe old age of 52.

All of the directors I work with have their own unique gifts.

I used to get really jealous of Ron Howard as Opie on 'The Andy Griffith Show' - we were the same age. I would just think, 'God, that little kid can work, and I can't!'
