“It’s an accomplishment for most actors,” says Idris Elba. “It means you’ve made it,” says Oscar winner Jamie Foxx. They’re talking about the career breakthrough that lands an actor the lead role on a movie, which means you’re listed first on the daily shooting schedule—or in Hollywood jargon, “Number One on the call sheet.” An illuminating two-part documentary from directors Reginald Hudlin and Shola Lynch gives a red carpet’s worth of Black leading men and women a platform to candidly discuss their journeys to stardom and, in many cases, award-winning superstardom. Participants include, for leading men, Denzel Washington, Will Smith, Dwayne Johnson, Morgan Freeman, Michael B. Jordan, Don Cheadle, Kevin Hart and more, with leading ladies including executive producers Angela Bassett, Halle Berry, Viola Davis and Whoopi Goldberg, plus Cynthia Erivo, Octavia Spencer, Tiffany Haddish, Taraji P. Henson, Alfre Woodard and many more.
