[@kelliyarbrough1111]

Really bittersweet reading this comment in light of his eaving the show and knowing why... I'm sooo happy he's happy and spending time with his family at home but I really miss him and I just don't see how anyone will be able to bring to the show the amount of diversity in every single area, that Trevor did...

[@christineboone2850]

Now that was one of the best interviews I’ve seen! Two of the most interesting, articulate, funny, and elegant men in the world!

[@aabdallahh]

Absolutely. I felt like having some tea while David was speaking. i wonder why... lol

[@jessicaaye3738]

Cheers to that!

[@estherolukole9805]

My heart skipped when he said "Ahen, the leaves" because he sounded sooo much like my Dad who is also from Oyo state lmao

[@Isbanda]

Thats an African expression that can't be faked. Loved it

[@BAZUNGA2301]

My dad is from Lagos He also loves leaf blowing

[@las3rdams3l]

I think he's from Oyo as well.

"...the more we understand different culture, different backgrounds, different people, the more we are likely to operate in ignorance which prejudice comes from" - David Oyelowo. The most thoughtful qoute I've heard on recent times.

David's transition from this high-minded actor/director who is starting a production company with the intent to eliminate prejudice in the world to his story of his adorable Nigerian father obsessed with leaf blowing is the best thing yet!

[@twinfree78]

When David said "aha da leaves" Trevor laughed and shook himself with his head looking like a bobble head doll and he clapped. 😂😂😂😂

That oration before they discussed David's dad, was some of the most impressive pieces of talking I have heard in current times...good on ya, David!!

[@hawaiianheat9154]

What's so interesting is the things that bring our parents joy when they get older should be a tv show & each show about a different parent & the things that make them happy. My Dad just loved to shop. He always loved it but when he got older it was just hilarious. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️😍🥰

You are a brilliant actor and it seems as if the Spirit of Dr. King is still with you! BTW thank you for such an amazing rendering of the Rev.
