“The character plays you, and this really resonates with me because I am not professionally trained, I’m more of ‘an in the moment’ actor.”Solomon B Taiwo Impact interview (2020)
“When you’re playing someone, I feel the character taking over me, but I am also influencing the character. Becoming embodied in the character on set is, what I think, makes a really powerful actor. If the character is good enough in a script, it really affects you. This is why I try and become the character for one or two weeks.”Solomon B Taiwo Impact interview (2020)
“Learning about our history and diving deep in Enslaved, opened my eyes to a new way of thinking. Playing my character really inspired me – he was an author who had a role in the abolition of slavery and even signed the document.”Solomon B Taiwo Impact interview (2020)
