In an interview culled from the Root, Oyelowo speaks on his part in the Sundance Flick!

TR: How do you feel about being at Sundance with Middle of Nowhere while Red Tails is opening?



David Oyelowo: What I really love about this day I'm having is that you have Red Tails on the one hand, a big blockbuster [with] George Lucas executive-producing it, and here is an independent film we made for very little money that I also love. I truly believe that where longevity lies for an actor is to mix it up, to surprise the audience and to support smaller films and try to get into bigger films. I feel very happy.

TR: How does it feel being an English actor playing all these American roles? Are there no roles for you in the United Kingdom?

DO: There are roles for me over there, but the fact of the matter -- where America is different from the U.K. -- is that America has a very clear undeniable black history, and that for me means you cannot be part of the artistic Diaspora without acknowledging that fact. People [in the U.K.] can make Jane Austen movies and not have black people in it -- you can't do that here. Just means that as black people here in America, you get to be in more stories.

TR: How did you end up getting these two lead roles?

DO: With Red Tails, I fought to get in the room, auditioned and thankfully they wanted me. With Middle of Nowhere, one of the producers approached me on a plane, told me about the project, sent me the script. I loved it; I called Ava DuVernay.

TR: What is your impression of George Lucas' comments about how hard it is to get a black action movie like Red Tails made?

DO: I think for him, he thought, he's George Lucas, he's Star Wars, he's Indiana Jones. For him to get a movie off the ground -- to get the studios involved -- should not be a problem. But he was surprised that they were reluctant. That made him realize the struggles black filmmakers must have if he's struggling to get a film off the ground.

Okay, I have to say I loved the RED TAILS movie! But I especially loved David's performance in the flick! Did you notice the part in the interview where he said he fought to get in the room? Spoken like a true Naija guy! His perfomance in THE 1 Ladies Detective Agency  was hilarious. Now check out his RED TAILS performance
