He watched the live reporting alongside his father, a veteran of the Korean War, and was dumbfounded as to why the US was fighting there in the first place.Peters' objections against the war even led to him being arrested while attending the massive <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moratorium_to_End_the_War_in_Vietnam">Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam demonstration</a> in Washington, D.C. in 1969.Fast-forward 50 years, and Peters suddenly found himself in Vietnam for <a href="https://www.insider.com/spike-lee-chadwick-boseman-cancer-da-5-bloods-2020-10">Spike Lee's "Da 5 Bloods."</a>"I'm in Vietnam and all these ghosts come up," Peters told Insider over a recent Zoom call, looking back on making the movie. "I'm thinking, we're Americans and we're going to Ho Chi Minh City. That was Saigon! How are these people going to treat me?"In "<a href="https://www.insider.com/da-5-bloods-cinematographer-most-memorable-scenes-moments-2020-6">Da 5 Bloods</a>" Peters works alongside the likes of Delroy Lindo, Isiah Whitlock Jr., and Norm Lewis to play a group of Vietnam veterans who, decades after fighting in the war, return to Vietnam to retrieve the remains of their squad leader (<a href="https://www.insider.com/chadwick-boseman-world-mourns-death-of-black-panther-star-2020-8">Chadwick Boseman</a>), find the gold they left behind, and take on the ghosts of their past.So how did Peters, a man who most of his life was against the war, feel about playing a soldier who fought in it?He said it completely changed his perception of the Vietnam War."180 degrees, it really did," Peters revealed.<div type="image" title="Da 5 Bloods 4 Netflix" height="710" width="960" msid="82050600" hostid="261"></div>The actor, who was awarded a BAFTA best supporting actor nomination for his performance as Otis, the medic of the group who reunites with his Vietnamese lover during the war and learns he has a daughter with her, said what made him think differently was his interactions before filming began with American veterans currently living in Vietnam."These men went back to Vietnam for whatever reason, they needed to go back there," Peters said in amazement. "I have much more sympathy now about what they had to go through and what war has done to them."Peters admits even a few years after shooting the Netflix movie he's still processing the fact that American soldiers who fought in the war realized the only way they could find peace was to live in Vietnam, though, it doesn't mean their demons have been exorcised.Peters recalls he and his castmates speaking to one American veteran who seemed to change right in front of their eyes when they asked him if he'd ever seen someone die during his time in the war.<div type="image" title="da 5 bloods netflix" height="720" width="1280" msid="82050601" hostid="261"></div>"His whole energy changed," Peters said. "He was quiet. He took a long time to finally say, 'Yeah, I did.' And this brother is living in Vietnam, so I wonder what ghosts are haunting him. He seemed to be so relaxed up to that moment, but you could just feel the sadness and anger and loss welling up inside him."Peters, who is also known for his work on "<a href="https://www.insider.com/best-tv-shows-of-all-time-2017-11">The Wire</a>" and "His Dark Materials," said the experience of being in Vietnam before shooting began on "<keyword id="9185924" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="da-5-bloods">Da 5 Bloods</keyword>" didn't alter his Otis character from how he was originally portrayed in the script. But he does feel he brought more love to a character."The irony of this whole thing is when I got arrested at the Moratorium in Washington I was a first-aid medic," Peters said. "Here in this movie I'm following the same path, so the sense of caring came easy for me. What was heightened was opening up more of a caring in me, knowing what these men had gone through. Clarke did that, not Otis.""Da 5 Bloods" is currently available on Netflix.

Peters was cast as a violent pimp named Anderson."I thought my career might lift off for me after that," Peters continued. "But at the same time I was fighting a battle for racial equality in the business.

"I was seen as a troublemaker," he added.For the next decade, Peters mostly worked in theater while finding the occasional guest spot on a TV series or TV movie. The next time he would star in a feature film was the 1996 thriller "Seasick."Looking back on his decision to speak out about the role, Peters said it's just one example of how he's been his entire career: trying to combine his creative needs and desire to expand how Black people are portrayed on screen with taking roles that offer him financial security."It's been a battle the whole way through, to tell you the truth," Peters said.But that battle has led to a rewarding one over the past few decades.Peters, 69, is now one of the most respected character actors working today, having been the backbone of projects like "<a href="https://www.insider.com/the-wire-creator-david-simon-piers-morgan-twitter-feud-argument-2021-4">The Wire,</a>" and "Treme."

Davis, a Grammy-winning producer who <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/30/style/whitney-houston-clive-davis-sexuality.html">signed Houston when she was 19 years old</a> and played an instrumental role on nearly all of her albums, is also a producer on "I Wanna Dance With Somebody." Tucci told Insider during an interview for <a href="https://www.insider.com/stanley-tucci-la-fortuna-cutting-lines-fewer-words-2022-1">his new AMC+ series "La Fortuna"</a> that he didn't have much time to prepare for playing Davis before heading to Boston for filming. However, he was able to speak with Davis over Zoom after reading Davis' biography and watching the 2017 documentary "The Soundtrack Of Our Lives," which is based on Davis' biography and tracks his career.Later, he spoke with Davis on set as well, and even received a supportive text message from the producer. "He said he watched the stuff we shot and sent me a text saying he couldn't have been happier and that made me very, very relieved," Tucci told Insider. "To me it was just about, again, if you're playing a person who people know, not doing an imitation of him, trying to just find those aspects of him — physical, vocal, behavioral — that captured the essence of him," Tucci said. "That's the hardest part."Along with Tucci as Davis and Ackie as Houston, the film also stars Nafessa Williams as Robyn Crawford, Clark Peters (who Tucci recently worked with on "La Fortuna") as Houston's father John Houston, and Tamara Tunie as Houston's mother Cissy Houston.

The AMC+ show is a drama about a legal battle between Tucci's Wild and the Spanish government over ownership of the biggest sunken treasure ever."La Fortuna" is an adaptation of the <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/42844874-el-tesoro-del-cisne-negro">Spanish graphic novel "El tesoro del Cisne Negro"</a> ("The Treasure of the Black Swan"), itself loosely based on the <a href="https://english.elpais.com/usa/2021-10-19/spanish-court-shelves-case-against-us-treasure-hunters-that-looted-sunken-treasure.html">real story of a Spanish ship that was sunk in 1804 and later recovered by a Florida-based exploration company</a>. Tucci told Insider that "La Fortuna" was "really well-written," leaving him little more to do other than "access" what was on the page. His character, Wild, starts the series with overflowing charisma and confidence. By the end, he's turned to desperation in a bid to keep the treasure he found, destroying his relationships in the process.In approaching Wild, Tucci said that he wanted to make his performances as "truthful" as possible.<div type="image" title="stanley tucci sitting on a block in a room of people in la fortuna, his armsc rossed and a pensive look on his face" height="4000" width="5333" msid="89042829" hostid="261"></div>"I often am a big believer in cutting a lot of my lines because a lot of writers will overwrite," Tucci said. "Because maybe they haven't spoken it aloud, but they forget a lot of times that the way an actor walks into a room or the way they get a look or something — we don't need words for that."Tucci told Insider that while it didn't happen frequently on "La Fortuna," he would go through the show's script with Amenábar, cutting or changing lines if something "rang false" or didn't feel right. In one sequence in the series' fourth episode, Wild goes verbally head-to-head with Clark Peter's Jonas Pierce, a maritime lawyer with whom Wild shares a fraught personal history."I think we whittled it down a bit because it just felt too much. A lot of times the emotion is sufficient," Tucci said. "People are so angry a lot of times they can't speak articulately," Tucci said. "Here's a guy who really is very articulate, but at that moment he really isn't."The first two episodes of "La Fortuna" are currently streaming on AMC+, with new episodes releasing weekly on Thursdays.

It was the last movie we saw the actor star in before his <a href="https://www.insider.com/black-panther-star-chadwick-boseman-dies-of-cancer-age-43-2020-8">sudden death in August due to colon cancer</a>.But Lee is especially taken by the courage of Boseman on set because according to the Oscar-winning writer-director the actor never revealed his diagnosis. "He did not look well, but my mind never took that he had cancer," Lee told <a href="https://variety.com/2020/film/news/spike-lee-chadwick-boseman-da-5-bloods-2-1234793585/">Variety's Clayton Davis</a>.Looking back, Lee puts the actor, who played a character dubbed "Stormin' Norman," in high regard for going through the challenge of playing a Vietnam War squad leader in the movie without ever complaining."It was a very strenuous shoot," Lee said. "I mean, we all didn't get to Vietnam until the end of the movie at Ho Chi Minh City. But that other stuff, the jungle stuff, was shot in Thailand. It was 100 degrees every day. It was also at that time the worst air pollution in the world. I understand why Chadwick didn't tell me because he didn't want me to take it easy. If I had known, I wouldn't have made him do the stuff. And I respect him for that."But others on set noticed how Thailand's intense environment took a toll on Boseman. After his death, Clarke Peters, who plays Otis in the movie, told "Good Morning Britain" that he noticed so many people tending to Boseman on set. Because he was unaware of the actor's hidden condition, Clarke thought the actor's fame had gone to his head.<div type="image" title="Da 5 Bloods 2 Netflix" height="1270" width="1693" msid="78540090" hostid="261"></div>"My wife asked me what Chadwick was like, you know? And I was really excited to work with him," <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXNaGrhjVIk&amp;feature=emb_titleitle">he said earlier this year</a>. "I said, 'Well, I think he's a little bit precious.' And she said, 'Why?' I said, 'Because he's surrounded by people who are fawning over him. He's got a Chinese practitioner who's massaging his back when he walks off set. He's got a makeup lady who's massaging his feet. His girlfriend is there holding his hand. And I'm thinking, 'Well, maybe the 'Black Panther' thing went to his head.'"Clarke wiped away his tears as he continued: "I regret even having those thoughts because they were really looking out for him."Lee told Variety that whenever he watches Boseman's character's final scene in "Da 5 Bloods," he has a powerful feeling. It's a moving moment in which Paul (played by Delroy Lindo), lost in the jungle, looks over to an open clearing. There, he sees the ghost of Norman, Boseman's character, with a light shining down on him. Lee said he had a spiritual feeling shooting that moment.<div type="image" title="Da 5 Bloods Stormin Norman Netflix" height="727" width="969" msid="78540092" hostid="261"></div>"It was God's heavenly light," Lee said of that scene. "We didn't have light. You know, Delroy is talking to the camera, talking about his conversation with God. We go up, and we come down and we find this heavenly light. It's Chadwick standing in that light, in that pose. That was God up there. I don't care what nobody says. That was God's heavenly light because that scene's not lit. That's natural light. And that was God sending heavenly light on Chadwick.""Da 5 Blood" cinematographer Newton Thomas Sigel spoke specifically about that scene while <a href="https://www.insider.com/da-5-bloods-cinematographer-most-memorable-scenes-moments-2020-6">talking to Insider</a> about the movie. He said it was his favorite shot because of how it came together."It was one of those amazing serendipitous moments where everything from performance to lighting to location all came together," he noted. "I knew the shot needed some kind of transition from this internal monologue to this fantastical event, and it just all came together.""I knew the shot needed some kind of transition from this internal monologue to this fantastical event, and it just all came together," Sigel continued. "The original location I was presented with for that scene was different and to me, it didn't have the magic that the scene needed. So I found another area. I kind of lobbied Spike that it would be a more appropriate location for that scene and he immediately got it."

And with the movie being shot in Vietnam and Thailand, the 16mm footage would have to be flown back to the US to be processed at a specific lab.All of this would lead to a heavy price tag for Netflix to pull off."But Spike was pretty adamant," Sigel said. "I would never have been able to do it without such fervent support from him."Sigel said originally the flashback scenes of Da 5 Bloods (played in the movie by Delroy Lindo, Clarke Peters, Norm Lewis, Isiah Whitlock Jr., and Chadwick Boseman) fighting in the war was not to be shot on a different format. He proposed the idea to Lee in preproduction."I think what really sold Spike on it was that this is what would have been used if a crew was there in Vietnam shooting during the war," Sigel said.<div type="image" title="Da 5 Bloods 2 Netflix" height="1270" width="2000" msid="76411955" hostid="261"></div>The choice has been hailed by critics. <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2020/06/da-5-bloods-spike-lees-most-ambitious-film/612952/">The Atlantic</a> noted the flashback scenes are "crackling, vibrant visuals." While <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2020/jun/14/da-5-bloods-review-spike-lee-vietnam-war-delroy-lindo-clarke-peters-chadwick-boseman">The Guardian</a> praised how Sigel "squeezes the widescreen frames of the present into the square newsreel format of the past." The 16mm look definitely makes those flashback scenes match perfectly with the archival footage of civil rights leaders and horrific visuals from the Vietnam war that shows up throughout the movie.Some may scratch their heads that Netflix would question Lee about wanting to shoot on 16mm as it has historically been known for abiding by filmmaker requests, even spending millions so Martin Scorsese could de-age Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci in the close to $200 million-budgeted "The Irishman." However, Lee has been adamant while doing press for the movie that <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/features/da-5-bloods-spike-lee-challenges-his-new-project-1297668">Netflix was the only place in Hollywood willing to make the movie</a>, having been rejected by numerous studios previously.Lee didn't de-age his main characters during the flashback scenes because, as he told <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/21/movies/spike-lee-da-5-bloods.html">The New York Times</a>, "I was not getting $100 million." But Lee putting his foot down to get the right visual aesthetic for a movie is consistent with what the Oscar-winner has done throughout his filmography. <keyword id="406" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="60" keywordseo="Movies">Movies</keyword> like "25th Hour," "He Got Game," and "Clockers" are just a sampling of the titles where Lee played with picture tone and different shooting formats to tell his stories.Looking back Sigel said it's possible they could have got a similar look in the flashback scenes on "Da 5 Bloods" if they didn't shoot on 16mm and just messed around in post-production with the footage. But, why fake it?"It would have never been the same," Sigel admits."Da 5 Bloods" is currently available on Netflix.

The intensity is on point. And the gift he has to suck us into everything he's doing on screen is on full display.However, before I go any further gushing about how great he is in "Da 5 Bloods," let's first take a moment to celebrate Lindo's stellar career to this point for those who don't know.<h2>Lindo is one of the best actors working in Hollywood today</h2>For many, his work is synonymous with three Spike Lee movies: "Malcolm X," "Crooklyn," and "Clockers." In all three Lindo gives different kinds of performances, but what they all have in common is audiences can't forget them.Even in the epic "Malcolm X," which features one of Denzel Washington's greatest roles as he plays the civil rights leader, Lindo matches him scene for scene playing West Indian Archie, the Harlem gangster who takes young Malcolm under his wing.<div type="image" title="Malcolm X Warner Bros" height="683" width="1366" msid="76342115" hostid="261"></div>Lee <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=1SqXAAAAQBAJ&amp;pg=PA154&amp;lpg=PA154&amp;dq=West+Indian+Archie+originally+for+samuel+l+jackson&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=7GCYOSnufB&amp;sig=ACfU3U2sFDdcK5VEie47GYsbNszUk3NToA&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwj5jOPJ8PnpAhUARjABHZuMAPAQ6AEwAHoECBMQAQ#v=onepage&amp;q=West%20Indian%20Archie%20originally%20for%20samuel%20l%20jackson&amp;f=falselly%20for%20samuel%20l%20jackson&amp;f=false">wrote the role specifically for Samuel L. Jackson, and when he passed Lee went to Charles S. Dutton, but his schedule shooting the TV show "Roc" made it impossible</a>. That left Lindo, and in all honestly, despite the greatness of those two other actors, neither would have been able to do what Lindo does opposite Washington. With a calm but forceful approach, he powers the scenes he has with the movie's star, but never overshadows him.In 1995, the same year he made "Clockers," Lindo also starred in "Get Shorty" and once more created a memorable character in the role of Bo Catlett. The movie, an adaptation of the entertaining Elmore Leonard crime novel, also gave Lindo the ability to show off his biting wit, as he muscles a B-movie director (Gene Hackman) and clashes with fellow tough guy Chili Palmer (John Travolta).Thanks to Lindo's deep voice, big laugh, and hard stare he made what could have been a forgettable, paint-by-numbers, bad guy role in a lesser actor's hands into a formidable challenge to Palmer throughout the story.<div type="image" title="Get Shorty MGM" height="472" width="944" msid="76342117" hostid="261"></div>In the following years, he cemented his character actor credentials in movies like "Broken Arrow," "Ransom," "The Cider House Rules," "Gone in 60 Seconds," and teamed with Hackman again in the fantastic David Mamet movie "Heist." (A note to aspiring actors, don't spend your money on acting school, just buy "Heist" and watch it constantly.)Lindo has always worked steadily on movies and TV shows, and perhaps because of the ease with which he plays any role, it has led to him not receiving the recognition that he rightfully deserves. But with "Da 5 Bloods" that all ends.<h2>Lindo shines in 'Da 5 Bloods' as a destructive Vietnam veteran</h2>No more saying Delroy Lindo is the glue of any project he's in or he makes those around him better, what Lee has done with his latest movie is finally put Lindo in the spotlight to shine all on his own. Literally.<div type="image" title="Da 5 Bloods 4 Netflix" height="710" width="960" msid="76342121" hostid="261"></div>The Paul character in "Da 5 Bloods" is a man filled with conflict. He reluctantly returns to a country where he witnessed (and did) horrific things during the war but gained friends for life. He says he only went on the trip to bring back the remains of their squad leader Stormin' Norman, but he's constantly talking about the gold and about how many shares people are getting, especially when his son David (Jonathan Majors) suddenly shows up and wants to tag along. Paul is also a Black man who is a Trump supporter, even sporting the red MAGA hat through the movie.That's a whopper of a character, and Lindo embraces the conflict Paul has within himself to create a figure that at one moment can be the group's de facto leader and in the next can be its most destructive member. The latter becomes more and more evident as the 5 Bloods head deeper into the jungle.<div type="image" title="Da 5 Bloods David Lee Netflix" height="1000" width="2000" msid="76342124" hostid="261"></div>When they find the remains of Stormin' Norman the whole group breaks down but Paul is the one who takes it the worst (we find out at the end of the movie why that is). And when the group finds the gold, it's Paul who suddenly turns all Fred Dobbs on everyone — Dobbs is the character Humphrey Bogart plays in "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre," a movie "Da 5 Bloods" mirrors often. He even turns his back on his own son.When Paul decides to break from the group and go it alone with his share of the gold — MAGA red hat placed firmly on his head — it's a chilling moment but also exciting because Lee is about to give Lindo something he's rarely gotten in a movie: his own defining moment.<div type="image" title="Da 5 Bloods Netflix" height="643" width="1349" msid="76342127" hostid="261"></div>Trudging through the jungle by himself you know that Paul's days are numbered, but with Marvin Gaye playing in the background he goes on and something very powerful happens. Lee puts the camera's point of view directly on Lindo. Paul is now speaking to us directly and he delivers a charged soliloquy about how he will choose his own fate. It won't be the war or the government, it will be only him. And it ends with him raising his fist, the camera finally moving from his face to close out on the clenched fist.This will not just go down as another iconic moment in the work of Spike Lee, but a long-overdue moment for Lindo to be celebrated.Watching the movie a second time I'm even more taken by how Lindo plays Paul's end. The anger that turns to pain, then comedy as he loses his gold, and finally acceptance when he has that beautiful moment sobbing in the arms of the spirit of Stormin' Norman.It's a performance that at the very least deserves an Oscar nomination. Yes, trivial to think about in today's world, but in these times it's the small things that can get you through it. And in an already storied career Delroy Lindo has, it would feel good to see a true artist get recognized for their craft."Da 5 Bloods" is currently streaming on Netflix.
