  • One of the greatest joys at a film festival is meeting an artist for the first time and knowing with certainty that, from that point on, you’ll always prioritize their work. I’ve been lucky enough to have a number of those encounters over the years, but two especially memorable ones are Kelvin Harrison Jr. and Aaron Pierre. I first met Harrison Jr. at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival for Luce, and for Pierre it was at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival for Brother, both breathtaking performances in exceptional films. In addition to the fact that both are bursting at the seams with talent, Harrison Jr. and Pierre are also artists who clearly ooze with deep passion and respect for the craft of acting. They're consistently true treats to chat with, so when the opportunity to host the very first 2-on-1 version of Collider Forces with the pair popped up, it was a must.
    While in Park City for the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, Harrison Jr. and Pierre kicked off their promotional tour for Nat Geo's Genius: MLK/X. Season 4 of the award-winning anthology series stars Harrison Jr. as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Pierre as Malcolm X, delving into “their complex lives as husbands, fathers, brothers and sons.” By focusing on the moments between game-changing historical events, Genius: MLK/X offers an intimate look at how the icons questioned their resolve and decisions.
    During their Collider Forces chat at the Collider interview studio at Sundance brought to you by Film.io, Harrison Jr. and Pierre revisited pivotal moments from their journeys in Hollywood thus far, highlighting some key crossover and shared experiences, but also emphasizing that every path in the industry is different.

    I've never seen or heard of Aaron until today when I randomly ran across MLK/X but he seems so mature & for his age. He's so well spoken & really takes his time to consider the question before his responds. Not to say Kelvin doesn't. It's so interesting to me how different Kelvin's roles are compared to his personality in interviews. All the movies I've seen him in he's playing these brilliant, somewhat serious roles, but when he's in an interview he's so animated. I love it. I also think Aaron is as intriguing as Malcolm X is & he did amazing playing him. Only other actor I saw that made me mesmerized to see Malcolm X is Denzel. Kelvin, well he's DOPE. Every role I've seen to date, he's been amazing. Because of him, I had to go research more about Chevalier.
