damian pugh
hello congratulations sir this is denia
pugh
i've met you before what's happening you
you have we talked not too long ago and
i want to kind of go back to our
conversation because
i remember you mentioning how a
different you showed up in order to
portray uh chairman fred hampton so i'm
wondering now
with the film being considered one of
the best recognized as one of the best
in all of your hard work
talk to me about how full circle this
moment is for you if that's the case
daniel
uh yeah i mean
we did it you know we made it saying
it's so hard for films like this to be
made
and that's the win for me that's the
that's the win i like with the fact that
we
told it from this perspective you have
to give your hat um
what's that tip your hat to ryan coogler
when he made a billy and he pitched this
you know like it's certain so many
things have to happen
in order for this film to get made like
fresh white could try to make it and
until antoine falcon tried to make it
it's a lot of people tried to make this
film so
the fact that we were able to make it is
the biggest win and the fact that
uh a mainstream audience is arriving to
it and arriving to this story is
everything
you're up guys
[Laughter]
it's different it's different daniel
congratulations
uh first first time winning your golden
globes for fred
playing chairman fred hampton i mean how
important
and and relevant is this award for you
winning this at a time right now
playing chairman fred hampton um what
what do you want that message
to be for us today
is to know the people that are on the
front line are really doing changes
really doing the battles
people that are responding to to the
murders of george floyd and brianna
taylor
that they work they're not alone they
can look in history and there's a line
of people who really fought and really
believed in what they believed in and
they had the words and they had
distracted
nothing to implement it and it's like
they're not crazy
and she's gone oh let's laugh hey daniel
what's up
hello how are you i'm good i'm good good
to see you again
great to see you too so listen we've
congratulations on the wind obviously
we've heard you you shouted out nipsey
hustle the brilliant nipsy hustle could
you see yourself
bring helping to bring his story to life
uh we know you can brilliantly bring
other people's story to life would you
be
interested in helping to bring his story
to life
i want to see it like i don't know i
definitely don't think i should play
nipsey hustle during
considering my complexion but um but uh
i feel like uh i wanna
hopefully want to see it just saying and
if i can help then i can help but
i just want it to exist i mean that's
like everything i just want things to
exist
and sometimes i'm the word person that's
the the vessel and the kind of person
that's gonna but
i'm just happy certain things exist you
know um that's all i'm
you know that's all i'm in the business
of
