"A love letter to the mentors": Brian Tyree Henry on his success from "Atlanta" to "The Fire Inside"
SalonWhen I sat down with Brian Tyree Henry to talk about playing in his first biopic, "The Fire Inside," I couldn't help but ask him about the breakout role that I remember him most for: Paper Boi from Donald Glover's award-winning FX comedy-drama series "Atlanta." There's so many people who could have just been like, "Nah, the world's not ready for that." So I think about Claressa and Jason a lot because I can only imagine this male boxer who sees this young girl coming to his gym that's like, "I want to be a boxer." It's so funny, after doing that show, there's so many instances in my life where I'm like, "Oh, this is an ‘Atlanta’ episode."
