To me, acting used to be just, 'Get my face out there, get girls, make a little bit of money, make my mom proud.' It was just like sports. But there were moments in 'Moonlight' that I really felt like I had to know why he is the way he is. Or just people in general - why this person walks around with a frown on their face instead of a smile.Trevante Rhodes
From start to finish, my experience with 'Moonlight' has been the most unique thing.Trevante Rhodes
