Actor/activist Jesse Williams revealed during the Denzealots pop culture podcast that he’s doing a biopic on another actor and activist, Harry Belafonte.
On top of the Belafonte feature, Williams says he also producing two documentaries. One, not surprisingly, is on the Black Lives Matter movement for BET and another dealing with the school to prison pipeline.
Speaking of his activism, Williams told the hosts that these days he’s more into activism than acting. He notes that as a father and husband, he has to think carefully about how he engages.
“I care more about activism and social justice and law than I do about acting. I have an awesome job that I love, but there’s this magnetic force that is constantly pulling me toward activism. I just have to do it.”
By the way, the Denzealots, a podcast is hosted by comedians W. Kamau Bell and Kevin Avery.
