Mike Colter’s 5 most popular quotes
- Cops and criminals aren’t that different. They just play by different sets of rules. And the lines get blurred. There’s no such thing as ‘right’ and ‘wrong.’ There’s always a grey area. There are always hypocrisies.
- As for facial hair, I think I decided it was a good look after graduate school. I always shave it myself and trim my own beard. I change the look depending on the role. For ‘Million Dollar Baby,’ I had no facial hair. For ‘Men in Black 3,’ I had no facial hair but did wear a wig.
- Dialogue is not always the best way to show emotion, to show your thought process, or to reveal yourself, as a character.
- It’s a part of my DNA that I’ve never really taken time to revel in success.
- There’s no book to figure out how not to become a victim of police brutality.
