Theatre Quote by Laz Alonso

“As an actor, the last thing you ever want to end up on is just a procedural show where you're just a talking head. There's nothing worse than just spitting out words. Words interrupt performance. Performance is king in my world, when it comes to why I'm in this business.” quote by Laz Alonso — Download Open image
