Regina King talked with Variety before her hand and footprint ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theatre: “I always wondered, was it hard to decide what shoe to wear? Who would have thunk I would answer my own question 40 years later …. yep!”
“I sat down and had a FaceTime with him, and by the time we got off that FaceTime, I was like, ‘Man could probably have talked me into doing anything,’” King tells“He had such a clear vision. He knew exactly the music that he wanted,” she adds, recounting how the filmmaker broke out his guitar during the virtual meeting to give her a taste of the Caribbean music and Afrobeats that he planned to infuse into the film.
“Regina King has long been one of my favorite actors,” Samuel says, explaining why he approached her for the part. One particularly enlightening conversation was over Trudy’s place of origin. There’s a line in the script about the character being from the Barbary Coast, which King initially presumed meant Africa, but Samuel actually meant California. The initial confusion, however, created a new layer to the character’s backstory, as the director and actor agreed that Trudy would be a bit of a nomad, with her world view informed by having traveled the country.
“I loved the Louisiana dialect, because it changes from person to person, but it still has a little twang,” she notes, adding that the layered accent softens Trudy’s toughness a bit, causing audiences to lean in and peel back what’s below the character’s stern exterior. Likewise, King has been getting it done since 1985, with an on-camera resume that boasts classics like “Jerry Maguire,” “Boyz n the Hood,” “Friday,” “Enemy of the State,” “24,” “The Leftovers” and more.film awards editor Clayton Davis noted that King’s “Trudy Smith is given scenery to chew and delivers a sinister monologue that allows the veteran actress to shine once again,” touting her performance as a standout among the starry cast.
In addition to earning 11 Emmy nominations, “Watchmen” is also credited with highlighting the 1921 Tulsa Massacre and bringing the long-buried tragedy back into public consciousness. “The Harder They Fall” is a fictionalized narrative and King again finds herself part of a project highlighting the untold history of Black people in America.
