Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje People Quotations

I think that what 'Oz' did is it spawned a great generation of television production. But people know its place in television and just in great dramas. It's the foundation of my career. Most producers, show runners, directors, and casting directors put me in movies based on my performance in that show.

As an actor, you really want to resonate with your audience. I played a character on Oz and people still approach me in the streets today.

Certainly, I look for different characters 'cause I always like to keep people guessing, and I also don't like to get typecast.

It's a significant question: should black people only adopt black children, and white people white children?

The only way I know how to deliver is to focus; some people can turn it on or off - I'd rather stay in character.

I've played different nationalities, and everything from vulnerable to strong to crooked to demented. It just increases your possibilities of work because, if people know you can do just about anything, then you're going to get more offers. That's what I want to do.
