Rustin

Matt Roush says...

Fear the Walking Dead’s Colman Domingo, an Emmy winner (as guest actor on Euphoria) and Tony nominee, could add an Oscar accolade to his resumé for his outstanding performance as civil-rights pioneer Bayard Rustin, an architect of the historic March on Washington in 1963. That event is the focus of director George C. Wolfe’s historical drama, enlivened by Domingo’s fiery, funny and passionate charisma as a confidante and friend to Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. (Aml Ameen) whose homosexuality created barriers to Rustin getting the renown he deserved. This film, co-starring Chris Rock as skeptical NAACP chief Roy Wilkins and Glynn Turman as union leader and Rustin fan A. Philip Randolph, could help reverse that injustice.
