VIDEO : David Oyelowo Is On A Mission For Diversity In Film

Actor David Oyelowo is committed to pushing for more diversity in films so his kids will no longer be shocked to see people the same color as them in lead roles. Oyelowo is British, and his parents are Nigerian. He is one of the loudest voices when it comes to calling for bigger parts for actors of color. In an interview on UK station BBC Radio 4, he said: "a few years ago I told my eldest son I was about to do this film. 'Queen of Katwe' was a Disney movie and his first question was, 'Daddy are you going to play the best friend?' Oyelowo said that moment made him realize how his son viewed diversity in Hollywood movies.
