In a recent interview with Kam Williams, Boris Kodjoe talks about his life, new movie ("All about Us")--a romantic dramedy about a Hollywood couple who decide to settle down in Mississippi after shooting a movie there, rather than return to L.A., and upcoming jobs. Here's a little snippet of the interview:
KW: What interested you in doing All about Us?
BK: First and foremost was the script, because I rarely, to that point, got a chance to consider playing a role like that, a regular family guy who is basically trying to balance his career goals with his obligations to his family. It's a very heartwarming story with some really interesting, fleshed-out characters. And when I had a meeting with the director, Christine Swanson, and her husband, Michael, I admired their passion for what they were doing. I think it's always a blessing to get to work with people who have that fire about what they're doing.
KW: What was it like filming All about Us on location in Mississippi?
BK: It was great. I encountered tremendous heat and lovely people.
KW: The script was semi-autobiographical. So, it must have been interesting to be acting out the filmmakers' life story.
BK: Yeah, it was interesting. I talked with Michael about the character, and about his path and his journey. And it was fun to sort of associate certain things that he went through with things that I've been through in my life. For instance, I had a young daughter, too, so there were many parallels that I could draw on. It was funny, because we were different people, yet all young fathers obviously go through some of the same stuff, and have some of the same concerns and anxieties. So, the process was really cool to me.
KW: What's up next for you?
BK: I'm shooting a movie right now with Bruce Willis called The Surrogates.
