‘One Night in Miami’ Star Kingsley Ben-Adir on Portraying a ‘Vulnerable and Broken’ Malcolm X
Eli Countryman Kingsley Ben-Adir’s version of Malcolm X in “One Night in Miami” is a different take than Denzel Washington’s portrayal of the civil rights leader in Spike Lee’s 1992 biopic, the actor said.“The more I investigated the script, it became pretty clear quite early on that it was a completely different Malcolm and an opportunity to show him in a way that maybe we haven’t seen him before: vulnerable and broken,” Ben-Adir said during a Q&A on Monday night during AFI Fest presented by Audi.The virtual panel, which took place after the AFI screening of “One Night in Miami” at the Rose Bowl, also included Leslie Odom Jr., Eli Goree and Aldis Hodge.
