Interviewer: Rob, did you know that every time you say actor or acting you lower your voice to a whisper?
He’s genuinely startled. “I do?”
Interviewer: Yes, so quietly it’s like you’re saying Negro.
He laughs, lightens up. “What if we were ‘acting’ like ‘Negroes’? Then we’d be fucked—we couldn’t hear anything. . . .”
*FYI…it should also be noted that the person conducting the interview was a Black woman…Lena Horne’s grand daughter to be exact (see Jenny Lumet). Just some food for thought. SMDH
