Video: Colman Domingo Recalls Auditioning 'Eight Times a Week' on SiriusXM's BEVELATIONS: IT GETS GREATER LATER

Colman Domingo is appearing on a new episode of SiriusXM’s Bevelations: It Gets Greater Later, where he talks about the trajectory of his career and how it has changed since he adjusted his approach to his work.

"I think I had established such a body of work... and I had to trust it myself. I'm like, 'The work is out there. If you want to meet with me to talk about it, I'm that guy,' the actor tells Bevy Smith in the upcoming episode of the show.

"This is after putting in 25 years or something like that... What I need to do is respect myself and not put myself through it because I was auditioning like eight times a week." Colman recalled. 

"At some point, I said, 'You know what? I think I'd like to be offer only,' and that means I have to trust that I won't get some auditions, but...I will trust that the people who want to work with me really wanna work with me."

The full episode will air starting July 29 at 5pm ET and on the SiriusXM app with a subscription or free trial. Watch a clip from the interview here!
