‘FreeRayshawn’ Star Jasmine Cephas Jones On Takeaways From Timely Quibi Short-Form Series & Memorable Moments With ‘Hamilton’
Below, Jones reflects on the takeaways fromDEADLINE: How did you get involved with : I actually got offered the role. It was a very last-minute thing, and Quibi obviously was new to the game, as well. I saw that Antoine Fuqua was a part of it, and Stephan James and Laurence Fishburne, just amazing actors and creators, and I thought the story was really, really important. So when I got the offer, I looked at the script and saw who was a part of it.
: It was one of the most emotional, challenging roles I’ve ever had to do. I think that was because we talk about some very, very important issues. But [also] you really don’t get time to breathe because it’s an action show. Immediately, it opens up in an action sequence where Stephan is doing a car chase with the police. Our window gets shot at and blown up, they throw in tear gas, and the first half of the show, Tyisha does not know what is going on.
DEADLINE: What do you think about the choices made in the framing of this story? The series really seems to present a balanced portrait of the situation at hand, suggesting that Rayshawn can be an imperfect person, while also being innocent of the crime of which he’s accused. At the same time, via Laurence Fishburne’s character, we get a very human portrait of a police officer. Essentially, the story is one of imperfect people, trying to survive and do their best within an imperfect world.
