Hey guys, Willie Geist here with another episode of the Sunday Sit Down Podcast.

My thanks is always for clicking and listening along.

Got a great one for you today with two-time Academy Award winner, Mahershala Ali.

He is one of the best and certainly most respected actors in all of Hollywood.

He won his Academy Awards for Moonlight back in 2016 and then two years later was standing

back on the stage at the Oscars winning best supporting actor for his role in Green Book.

You might have first noticed him in House of Cards where he played Remi Danton, the chief

of staff and then also a lobbyist.

Then you probably saw him on season three of True Detective.

Now he is carrying a film for the first time as he puts it.

I never thought of it that way because he's been such a star for so long but he is the

leading man now, something he's been planning on for years since he decided to become an

actor and this is the moment where he's doing it in a film called Swan Song.

Playing not one but two characters.

The quick synopsis and you'll hear him describe it better than I will.

For this film on Apple TV Plus is he's a man with a young family.

He's got a young son, he's married to a woman who's pregnant with their second child

but he's been diagnosed with a terminal illness and decides not to tell them.

Instead this is in the near future.

He has a clone made of himself, an indistinguishable clone.

He makes that decision that he doesn't want his family to grow up without him in their

life.
