Back in NY for picket duty tomorrow and I'd love to walk a line at the production of any WGA member who threatens, regardless of their justifications, to sue an effective strike captain off his post amid our strike, thereby impairing our effort. Not that I know anyone like that.

I am beginning to celebrate Black History Month with this memory: Me and John Lewis, who I interviewed and then portrayed in my play and film LET ME DOWN EASY.

Morris Chestnut. A sweetheart on @SHO_Jackie. The PAs said he was always working out in his dressing room. He told me he eats turkey and veggies. Strict diet. Real decent man.
