Blair Underwood Covering UPSCALE
Magazine!
Blair Underwood covers the April 2012 issue of Upscale
Magazine! Here’s what the 47-yr-old handsome actor who stars in the
upcomingT.D. Jakes Production, ‘Woman Thou Art Loosed: On the 7th Day’ had to
share with the publication.
On his upcoming role: “I’m not
one, as an audience member, to enjoy or even appreciate being preached to…I go
to church for that. But if you can tell a story and people can take that journey
with you…and then once they leave, kind of think in retrospect, ‘Oh you know,
there was a message, there was a moral to that story,’ that definitely was an
asset to me.”
On playing different roles: “What I love more than anything is being able to play a range.
Whatever people see you as switch it up. I’m more grateful for longevity that
almost anything else in my professional life…. Nothing’s guaranteed in this
business. You see a lot of people come and go, fall by the
wayside.”
On his wife of 18-yrs, Desiree DaCosta: ”She’s just smarter than I am. She has great insights. She has her
perspective, she has her female perspective [and] she has her maternal
perspective. I’m always interested in what she says and I respect her opinion….
We just click and fit. We understand each other and support each other and try
to respect each other. Failure is not an
option.”
