How much did you know about Howlin Wolf before taking the role?
EW: I didn’t know anything about Howlin’ Wolf. I had to do some research. Before we started shooting, I knew that I had to step up to the plate and bring what I could to the role. I listened to some stuff on youtube and it was a journey gathering more information. He was a big man and a righteous man who believe what I believed in. Unlike the other roles you have done, did you know when you this role that you would have to do some singing? EW: No, I didn’t know. When I said yes when I signed, I was so happy to be working with that caliber of actors, I forgot to ask. A few days had gone by and after I read the script and did more research, I phoned Darnell back. The research showed how much of a singer he was, and Darnell has said that all characters who sing in the film will be done by the actors playing the parts. So the first thing I did was control my voice for the role. Had you sung or played an instrument before? EW: No, never played an instrument before and I have sung in a play.
