My Take
Roger Guenveur Smith is exactly the kind of artist I gravitate toward: an actor, writer, and director who builds his own worlds rather than just inhabiting others'. His long collaboration with Spike Lee already earns my respect, but it's his work as a solo performer that fascinates me most, that nerve to stand alone and command a room. I tend to believe the true backbone of great cinema lives in its character players, and Smith strikes me as one of those textured, intelligent presences whose every scene carries weight. A genuine, durable artist who never coasts on flash.
