QXSW: ‘Blindspotting’ actor Andrew Chappelle sees himself in his queer character
With South by Southwest in Austin underway, all the types of media are heading there to introduce their movies, music and multimedia.
This is the place where recent best picture Oscar winner Everything Everywhere All at Once made an early showing. So a lot can happen.
For out actor Andrew Chappelle, he and his castmates will be hyping up the second season of his show Blindspotting on Thursday. “I’m most excited about reconnecting with everyone in one place,” he said by phone from Los Angeles prior to leaving for Austin. “I haven’t been hanging with the crew, plus I was out of town for Gay Ski Week.” He and the cast will be previewing episodes of the new season before its premiere on Starz April 14.
A spin-off and sequel of the film of the same name, the dramedy series centers on the character of Ashley and her son having to move in with her husband’s mother after he was incarcerated.
