"I am ready for this journey to undo me. Make me learn about love again. Make me learn about hope. Make me learn about forgiveness. Make me learn about how our people have triumphed over unspeakable horrors," Domingo wrote in response to the news that he had been cast as Mister in "The Colour Purple." Domingo also thanked his predecessors: "I join a long legacy of men who have giving complexity to Mister. Starting with Danny Glover a great inspiration for me. Love. Time to get to work."
Domingo currently stars as Ali in "Euphoria." He's previously appeared in "Zola," "Candyman," and "If Beale Street Could Talk." Domingo has extensive stage experience, and his performance in "The Scottsboro Boys" earned him a nomination for best performance by an actor in a featured role in a musical at the 2011 Tony Awards.
