Colman Domingo Recalls Late Costar Chadwick Boseman 'Worked Like a Tornado' on Final Movie 'Ma Rainey's Black Bottom'

'Sing Sing' star Colman Domingo is remembering the late Chadwick Boseman, who “came in with so much energy and passion” while filming what turned out to be his final movie, 2020's 'Ma Rainey's Black Bottom' costarring Viola Davis

It was “because he was so sick,” according to Domingo, that Boseman worked so hard at portraying Levee Green, the confident trumpet player in a 1920s jazz band. Boseman received a posthumous Golden Globe Award and Oscar nomination for his Ma Rainey’s performance. Asked how the late star would have evolved had he lived longer, Domingo told Wallace, 76, “I thought that he was always so much more than just an actor because of the way he talked.”
