" - Mahershala Ali " I’m not shy about trying to find what truth there is in any genre, whether that be an action piece, a sci-fi piece, a small indie film, or a play. I’m open to it all. " - Mahershala Ali " I was going to try to get into the creative writing program at Berkeley; it’s just that the acting thing worked out. " - Mahershala Ali
