Now, with Universal’sKaluuya has his first starring role in an American feature. Written and directed by Jordan Peele, the film is an astute satire that uses genre tropes to question the role of race in contemporary America, particularly within the context of white liberalism.

DANIEL KALUUYA: I got an email from [my agent] and read it, and I was like, “Aw, man, this is crazy. My boys would love this.” I actually called it “12 Years A Slave: The Horror Movie.” I was like, “Yo, how do I make this happen? I’m a massive fan of Jordan.” And [my agent] was like, “Oh, well, he’s a fan of you.” And I was like, “He knows I exist?” So we Skyped a long time ago, probably about this time two years ago, and I was just saying how much I loved the script.
BROWN: I really love the scene where your character gets hypnotized for the first time. You go through so many different facial expressions. What was that like to film?
