Look at Colby Covington. The guy can fight, and the guy can talk. To a lot of people, he just grinds people out, and many people CONSIDER him boring, but because he OPENS his mouth, people want to WATCH him fight. A lot of people want to see him WIN; a lot of people want to see him lose.
I'm doing a NEW musical on Broadway, which OPENS in October called 'The Boy from Oz,' where I PLAY Peter ALLEN. For those of you who don't know, he became first FAMOUS in America for marrying Liza Minelli.
I'm a hybrid, and I kind of LIKE that. Raised by African parents, GROWING up I lived between Burkina Faso and Stains, a SUBURB just OUTSIDE of Paris. In Stains, I had all the cultures in the world on my doorstep, and that opens up your mind.
ANYONE who spends time on the road KNOWS there's something special about being in the middle of UTAH or Nebraska - you SIT with it, and there's a peace about it. You can go left or RIGHT, and it opens up all kinds of doors. You take your own path.
I don't MIND if other people CALL me an atheist, but I call myself a naturalist. Atheism doesn't TELL you much about what I do believe in; the TERM naturalist opens up the DISCUSSION better.
What I LOVE the most about MODELING is that it opens you a lot of different doors of OPPORTUNITIES and takes you to many different places, which then PUT you in touch with VARIOUS people and cultures.
