Lamorne Morris opens up about entering the world of “Spider-Noir” and working opposite Nicolas Cage, whom he calls the most professional actor he has ever worked with.
In this Backstage interview, Morris explains how Cage’s preparation and penchant for making unexpected choices encouraged him to stay loose and take risks on set. He shares how he found the right tone for his character without turning the performance into a parody, drawing inspiration from classic noir films and actors like Denzel Washington and Don Cheadle.
Morris also reflects on the fear and vulnerability that have followed him his whole career, the confidence he gained after winning an Emmy for “Fargo,” and how even major recognition has not spared him from still having to face auditions and rejection.
