Colman Domingo has landed lead roles in these two music biopics. Over the last few years, the beloved talent has captivated audiences worldwide with his stellar acting chops and unforgettable roles in Fear The Walking Dead, Euphoria, The Color Purple and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.
On 23 January, Domingo added another feat to his list of accomplishments when he earned a Best Actor Oscar nomination for his lauded performance as Bayard Rustin in Netflix’s Rustin.
In addition to becoming a first-time nominee, Domingo also made LGBTQIA+ history as only the second gay man and first Black gay man to be nominated for playing a gay character.
While the Candyman star will have to wait a little bit longer for the Oscars to take place, Domingo is already setting his sights on the future by booking not one but two major roles.
