Colman Domingo on Good Hang with Amy Poehler

The Hang, in Short

Amy and Colman Domingo bond over their shared love of dancing, which makes perfect sense since they actually met on a dance floor at a party. The conversation gets wonderfully weird when they discuss peptides (what are they, and who's taking them?). Steven Spielberg drops by to gush about working with Domingo on his new blockbuster Disclosure Day, revealing that he first wanted to cast Domingo in an unmade Gershwin biopic before eventually working with him on Lincoln. Spielberg shares his genius method for relaxing nervous actors during auditions. He cooks with them in a kitchen, starting with Raiders of the Lost Ark. "Everybody becomes so real when they're covered in flour," he says. They also celebrate Domingo's late mother Edith and her lasting influence on his life. It's a lovefest all around.
