When I was in school, my first acknowledgement of 'Roots' was Kunta Kinte.

I was 22 when my mother gave me the original box set of 'Roots' and she said, 'I want you to watch this.' I watched the whole thing back to back in the span of 24 hours. It had a profound effect on me. It felt like my story.

Playing Kunta Kinte is an emotional, physical, spiritual, and mental journey.

I haven't experienced a lot of prejudice in my life, but I'm not naive to what goes on in the world.

When I heard that 'Roots' was being remade, my first response was, 'Seriously?' I was a bit skeptical. Then I had an audition in early 2015. I didn't know how to feel about it. I was a little scared of the responsibility of telling the story again with the weight of the first one behind me - I was scared of comparisons.

My knowledge of my ancestry, like a lot of black people not living in Africa today, is very vague.

Kunta Kinte's strength derives from the knowledge of where he comes from, but it struck me that I don't know where I come from. I understand that my last name is Kirby, that I was born in London, third-generation Jamaican, and at some point along the line, that name was changed. I didn't know my history past my grandparents.
