Charlayne Woodard

You Might Know Her From Pose, Unbreakable, Glass, Secret Invasion, Cindy, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, The Crucible, and the original Broadway company of Aint' Misbehavin'. Charlayne told us all about her prolific solo work as a writer and performer and how Micki Grant inspired her to carve her own way. She also discussed the working with playwrights in rehearsal from Suzan-Lori Parks and In the Blood to Arthur Miller and The Crucible film adaptation. Charlayne also gave us the skinny on working with Samuel L. Jackson in the MCU and in the M. Night Shyamalan universe. All that, plus her work on the historic Pose, working with Nell Carter on Ain't Misbehavin', and her connection to friend of the show Sandra Caldwell.
