VIDEO: Darryl Maximilian Robinson Talks Politics And Craft On New May Edition Of THE ACTOR'S CHOICE

Having previously appeared on the Monday September 19, 2016 and Monday December 30, 2019 editions of the internet performing arts television talk show 'The Actor's Choice', seasoned Chicago, St. Louis and Los Angeles thespian Darryl Maximilian Robinson has twice had the opportunity to discuss his work in the live theatre and other performing arts related endeavors. But these chats occurred before the advent of 2020! A year that saw the greatest racial strife and protest marches in the U.S. since the civil rights era, a contested presidential election which culminated in an insurrection at The Capitol, and a world-wide global pandemic that closed theatres and performing arts venues of all shapes and sizes around the country!

On Monday May 3, 2021 at 11:00 AM ( PST ), and at 1:00 PM ( CST ), following talented and experienced fellow guests Film Director, Editor and Actor Dave Edison ( who has worked on television and screen projects from sci-fi series to Christmas specials ) and Actress and Dancer Trish McCall ( who has worked around the country in the theatre and on television with such legends as theatre Director / Producer Woodie King and the late, great Jerry Orbach of 'Law And Order' in New York ), Darryl Maximilian Robinson joined veteran entertainment journalist and host Ron Brewington to discuss public theatre performance, politics, systemic racism, The Covid-19 Pandemic and The Oscars during his third appearance on 'The Actor's Choice'.
