Kevin Daniels

Theater and sports are connected. You've got your team - or ensemble - your goal and your determination to win.

I've always wanted to be one of those actors who could change from character to character, like Daniel Day Lewis or Jeffrey Wright.

Researching Magic Johnson, I realized I clearly haven't done enough with my life.

Shaft was a pop culture figure along t he lines of, I guess, Dirty Harry - except that he wasn't as much of a racist. So yeah, I was always a fan.

As a kid, I said, 'I want to write for movies.' When I finally had that opportunity it was like I was able to exhale. 'Wow, I'm finally doing this for real.'
