hope is the thing with feathers

Q: Brett Davis
You play a very dynamic character when you compare Sam's society to our own, and you do a very good job in your portrayal of him. What is your favorite aspect of the character "Sam," and if there was one thing you could change about his personality, what would it be? Do you have any personal experiences you can bring to Sam when dealing with racial discrimination?

A: Sasha Roiz
I wouldn’t change a thing about him. I love portraying Sam, just as he is.

Yes, unfortunately I have experienced racism in my life. Growing up as an immigrant and a minority, I faced different levels of bigotry and ignorance. Some more subtle, some overt, but all equally painful. It is certainly an aspect of the character I can relate to.
