What is the greatest compliment you've received?
Submitted by Maraschino.
Last summer, after the Ten by Ten Festival, the husband of a woman I acted alongside, name-checked Don Cheadle when he spoke about my performance. Along with Jeffrey Wright, Don Cheadle is one of my heroes when it comes to actors. Both these men have astounded me with the honesty of their performances, in addition to the breadth of imagination and inventiveness they bring to these performances.
Plus, if you add to their ranks Mos Def, another actor I enjoy, you have the casts of both New York runs of Suzan-Lori Parks' Topdog/Underdog, a favorite play, in which I will be appearing in some months.
