Video: Colman Domingo Praises SING SING Co-Stars on LATE NIGHT WITH SETH MEYERS

Colman Domingo stopped by Late Night with Seth Meyers on Monday to discuss his latest film, Sing Sing. The movie centers on a group of incarcerated men who participate in a program called Rehabilitation Through the Arts (RTA), which sees them putting on plays together and finding communal and individual healing.

Many of the actors who appear in Sing Sing were formerly incarcerated themselves and RTA program members during that time. "That was the most beautiful thing about this film," Domingo said. "[RTA] has really changed their lives and they feel like they're able to be back out serving the communities and healing them."

Domingo went on to praise his co-stars, including Clarence Maclin who plays a fictionalized version of himself in the film.

"We came together to teach other each other things. What they didn't know, they had great instincts for...We learn from each other," he said of working with his fellow actors.

The film is currently playing in select theaters, before a nationwide release on August 2.
