Finn was a role I knew I had to audition for. Even if there was a part of me that believed it was a shot in the dark compared to the potential competition, I knew I had to take a chance and give it a go. I was genuinely taken aback and stunned when I was contacted for a callback. Star Wars is a franchise I am still relatively new to and learning more about but I can say that I very much enjoy the films and media I have seen from it. Finn is especially a character I have a certain attachment to as his actor, John Boyega, is a Nigerian man like myself. His character spoke to me in a way that no other Star Wars character has so I knew I had to give it my very best in my initial audition. I did my best to match Boyega’s energy in the role while also bringing in my unique spin on the character. I wanted him to be familiar but distinct. I feel honored to be part of a production like this one. The other cast members and production team are an absolute blast to be around. I look forward to growing with everyone, learning with everyone, laughing with everyone and bringing this character to life in a different form of media.
