Terry Crews
The Knockturnal: Your character felt like he was from a certain era like he was out of a period piece. Were their certain characters from the blaxploitation era of film that you looked to inspire your performance?
The Knockturnal: Obviously, a running theme in this film is the “white voice.” Now you’re a huge figure, you’ve established yourself, but was there ever a time in your life where you felt you needed to put on sort of a “white voice” to move forward like Cassius?
The Knockturnal: Obviously, this film has gotten such great reception, but what’s the most poignant reaction that you’ve heard to this story?
The Knockturnal: I got the same vibe from this cast that I do from Brooklyn 99. What’s it like to be apart of such great representation within those casts?
Tessa Thompson
The Knockturnal: I love your look today, your character has such an empowered look and her vision was communicated through her look, what was it like collaborating with the costume designer and developing her style?
The Knockturnal: As a black woman I’ve never seen a character like this on screen.
The Knockturnal: Playing such an iconic character [Detroit], what’s been the best reaction you’ve heard from someone?
Armie Hammer
The Knockturnal: In this movie you play a power-crazed man, were there any real-life figures looked to inspire you?
The Knockturnal: Did you have more fun playing the villain in this movie versus playing the good guy?
The Knockturnal: Many times during your performance there are moments where Steve dissociates. In one scene Cassius is rapping and everyone is screaming the N-word and Steve almost is away from himself. What was it like putting on that shift?
Steven Yeun
The Knockturnal: This story is so layered, when you first read this script, what was the initial social commentary that you took from it?
The Knockturnal: So this cast is so diverse but no one feels tokenized, there were no weird stereotypes anyone was subjected to. What was it like to be apart of a story where everyone was used well.
The Knockturnal: Your character is such a revolutionary, are there any modern revolutionaries that your character would look to for inspiration?
The Knockturnal: Obviously, a theme is this film is suppressing who you are to get ahead, do you ever feel like in your career you’ve had to downplay who you are?
