Couldn’t get down to Foley Square in nyc so I hastily made this sign to show my solidarity with this much needed movement. I’m there in spirit, and with all the youth all over the world who are sticking it to the carbon emitting Man. #climatestrike #strikewithus @thisiszerohour @100isnow and visit @usclimatestrike to find a protest near you!

Yes it’s scary yes it can be hard to read, but do yourself a favor as a human being on planet earth and read “the uninhabitable earth” by David Wallace Wells. Depressing, enlightening, infuriating and ultimately hopefully energizing, it’s an eloquent, deeply researched look at where we are and where we are headed. “If we allow global warming to proceed, and to punish us with all the ferocity we have fed it, it will be because we have chosen that punishment — collectively waking down a path of suicide. If we avert it, it will be because we have chosen to walk a different path, and endure.” – dww #davidwallacewells #theuninhabitableearth
“He loves how iconic she is and he’s attracted to the star quality, but there’s also something very genuine in his attraction to her – he wants to take care of someone.” @finnwittrock on his character, Mickey Deans. #JudyTheFilm

What a ride, Toronto. Thank you @judygarlandfilm and #tiff and @rupertgoold the incredible director of the inimitable #reneezellweger who is about to blow your minds in this role. And of course thank you @remba_ and @ashleypweston for working your magic on me and outdoing yourselves once again. Last night was our premiere and it was honestly a dream come true. “….that’s where you’ll find me…”
I was in a short film with and by the very talented @scarlettbham and directed by @pmont243 and now it’s a staff pick on @Vimeo and you should watch it! It’s called big boy pants and it’s funny. Link in bio.

Sometimes environmentalists look like this. Check out a cool group I discovered thanks to my pal @realrudyreyes – @forceblueteam goes into damaged coral reefs and helps repair them with the expertise of divers from Special Forces backgrounds. A badass way to help save the planet. Help them if you can!
Me and my old friend @upstartcrow12 at Shakespeare’s tomb a few years ago. Happy birthday Will. PS fun fact: Wolfe’s handle “upstart crow” is based on an early critic of Shakespeare, who called his writing that of an “upstart crow” among other things. So… more evidence proving the old proverb “haters gonna hate.”
Clang clang clang I’m so excited that @judygarlandfilm is almost here! A portrait of a legend. New trailer link in bio.
How do you say it better? Mark’s words: ・・・ So many of us are involved with charity during this pandemic. That’s commendable and beautiful and right. What the pandemic has also shown us is that our charity is only a bandaid on a cancerous economic system. If this system was economically just. If we had universal healthcare, living wages, childcare, racial justice, and guaranteed food and shelter, we wouldn’t have this mad scramble to raise funds for the people in need. We wouldn’t have this level of death and suffering in the richest nation in world. We would be safe to weather out this storm more equally, together. Now, the inequality inherent in our economic system is laid bare. Brown people, and the poor, and working poor suffering the greatest losses. There is truly enough for all. But not when so much is hoarded by so few. The religious prophets we are honoring at this time knew this. They fought and died for it in one way or another. Let’s hope and pray there is a moral resurrection in this triple holy season brought on by the collapse and disruption of COVID-19. Funny that Jesus fought against an unjust empire. The virus itself is a crown. The virus is showing us how wrong we have it now morally, economically and spiritually. Happy Easter, Ramadan, and Passover to all.
Do yourself a favor and check out the beautiful film “Last Black Man in San Francisco” @lastblackmansf – a rare film that can make a movie in which a city is the main character. Stunningly shot, beautifully told, a timely and prescient story. I’m honored to be a part of it. In theaters now!
Thanks for the in depth history @jamsvy happy #juneteenth ・・・ Reposted from @blackstory1619 As the Civil War came to a close in 1865, a number of people remained enslaved, especially in remote areas. Word of slavery’s end traveled slowly, and for those who were largely isolated from Union armies, life continued as if freedom did not exist. This was especially the case in Texas, where thousands of slaves were not made aware of freedom until June 19, 1865, when Union Gen. Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston and issued an order officially freeing them. Their celebration would serve as the basis of June 19 — or Juneteenth — a holiday celebrating emancipation in the US. Ironically, while Juneteenth has become the most prominent Emancipation Day holiday in the US, it commemorates a smaller moment that remains relatively obscure. It doesn’t mark the signing of the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation, which technically freed slaves in the rebelling Confederate states, nor does it commemorate the December 1865 ratification of the 13th Amendment, which enshrined the end of slavery into the Constitution. Instead, it marks the moment when emancipation finally reached those in the deepest parts of the former Confederacy. In many ways, Juneteenth represents how freedom and justice in the US has always been delayed for black people. The decades after the end of the war would see a wave of lynching, imprisonment, and Jim Crow laws take root. What followed was the disproportionate impact of mass incarceration, discriminatory housing policies, and a lack of economic investment. And now, as national attention remain focused on acts of police violence and various racial profiling incidents, it is clear that while progress has been made in black America’s 150 years out of bondage, considerable barriers continue to impede that progress… #juneteenth
Watch #Alternatino on @comedycentral tonight!! It will make @arturocastrop ‘s dreams come true, but that’s not the reason you should watch it – you should watch it because you will laugh your a$$ off and be exposed to some serious cultural satire. ・・・ This was my Will Smith in “The Pursuit of Happiness” moment. I used to be a street performer for a tour bus on this corner and seeing this, particularly with my family on the week of the premiere…it’s breathtaking. …. ……… I hope you all love the show, it makes my dreams come true on the daily. 🙂 #Alternatino #June18 #ComedyCentral
@plusonemovie is in theaters today. There are a lot of insanely talented people in this film who give great performances. But ultimately, it’s the story of a lonely hotel front desk-worker who has a brief but pivotal encounter with an attractive couple figuring out the throes of their relationship. This encounter inspires this young man to follow his own dreams, all of which happen off screen, but which I think you can really feel somehow throughout the course of the film. Go see it and don’t go to the bathroom because you might miss me! Really, go, its impossible not to love this movie. In theaters and on iTunes today!
