ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「Playing Malcolm X in “One Night in Miami” is a dream realized for Kingsley Ben-Adir — but his breakthrough year didn’t come easily. Over the past year, all the pieces finally began to fit together for the British actor. Foremost among them was his portrayal of the civil rights leader in @iamreginaking’s new film, in which he movingly mines the human, vulnerable side of an icon. But along the way, there were also roles as varied as Barack Obama in “The Comey Rule” and Zoë Kravitz’s love interest in “High Fidelity.” And then, the most unambiguous sign of making it: Ben-Adir even popped up as a character played by Regé-Jean Page, the guest host on the latest “Saturday Night Live.” The sudden rush of attention, success and awards buzz is a heady development for Ben-Adir, who only a few years ago was questioning everything about his approach to acting. “I felt like I was just making it up as I was going along, sometimes hitting and sometimes missing,” the 35-year-old actor said on video chat from his home in London. “And I really got to a point where, I won’t say what show it was, but I saw something I had done on television and I felt so depressed by the work. I was like, ‘Is that it? All of the work that went into it, and that’s what it was?’” Until three years ago, he said, he had a technical education that had mainly prepared him for big British stages. So he started taking acting classes with the teacher Victor Villar-Hauser, who taught him how to better marry head and heart — and without that renewed commitment, Ben-Adir said, he couldn’t have made it through “One Night in Miami.” Tap the link in our bio to read more from our interview with Kingsley Ben-Adir.
