Never let anyone tell you what you can or cannot do.
When "Atlanta" actor Donald Glover heard Disney was working on a young Han Solo movie, he immediately thought Lando Calrissian may be in the movie. And he wanted in.
"I told my agent, I was like, 'If they're making a Han Solo movie, Lando's gotta be in it and I want to be Lando," he told Jimmy Kimmel recently.
But he didn't hear what he wanted to.
"And, to his credit, I appreciated he was like, 'I don't like your odds,'" said Glover about his agent's initial response.
But that didn't stop Glover. If anything, his agent's words only encouraged him more.
"[It] was awesome because I was like, 'I'mma get this," said Glover.
His agent may not have realized it at the time, but there was a big reason why Glover wanted the part so bad.
"I just really wanted to be it because it was my first toy and I just loved that character," said Glover of a Lando Calrissian "Star Wars" toy given to him by his father.
Glover told the Phillippine Daily Inquirer he was such a big fan of the toy that he took a Darth Vader toy he had and "bit the lightsaber toy off" to try and give it to Lando.
