LESLIE DAVID BAKER

Stanley Hudson was the embodiment of many workers in America, both male and female. Creating the nuances of the character was fun and challenging in that much of his very being was grounded in his ability to editorialize any given situation, much of the time without uttering a single word.

You can't accuse me of having said anything if I'm not there to say anything.

You know the thing about a picture being worth a thousand words? A look can be worth a million.

I love horror films.

If something's not right, then you have to take to the streets and make it right.

Oh, my gosh, I'm listening to everything from Bruno Mars to Beyonce, to Arthea Franklin and Patti LaBelle.

I try to get back to Chicago at least twice a year.

I love science fiction films.

It's gratifying to know that America can be so much more than the land of the free and home of the rest of us.

Unfortunately there are some not-so-nice people using social media, and that has proven to be complicated for other actors that I've known.
