Colman Domingo is that rare artist who moves seamlessly between theater, television, and film. But it only looks easy these days because he’s been a dedicated student of the acting trade for decades. “It all goes back to having respect for this craft,” he says. “And being a craftsman first. It's never been about fame. It's always been about respect.”

In this episode of In the Envelope: The Actor’s Podcast, Domingo guides us through all the places his craft has taken him, from his early days on stage to scene-stealing performances in ""ZOLA,"" ""Fear the Walking Dead,"" ""Ma Rainey's Black Bottom,"" and the HBO hit “Euphoria.”
