on Aug. 18 – spoke about how the show rings true when it comes to presenting a true representation of the country’s diversity, and delivering an authentic depiction of teenage life in the U.S.
“Even in 2009, it was the only movie that I saw with a young person my age who felt and looked like me, not completely, but I could resonate with them deeply.

When asked about the roles he’d like to take on in the future, Michael said he would love to play Miles Morales, but he also has a personal project he’s developing, “90 Miles,” which is the distance between Cuba and the Florida Keys, he explained. “It’s one of those stories where the idea is that someone’s journey is to become a successful baseball player, but in the end, it’s about being an immigrant and surviving.”

What am I doing?’ People being seen for: ‘I am who I am, and that is what I am. And I don’t have to answer any other questions.
