About the Job
Blu’s Father character is portrayed as a 40-50 year old black male of African/West Indies/Caribbean descent. A former laborer who immigrated to America. He's a stern, overbearing figure who speaks with a thick accent and voice that channels the cadence of Michael K. Williams, gravelly, resonant baritone that carries both authority and vulnerability. He drills Blu mercilessly on and off the court, determined to armor his son against the world. Beneath his toxic masculinity lies his own unhealed wounds of displacement, addiction, and failure. He’s a figure that lacks the ability to express his love in the traditional sense but he’s able to shift between menacing and showcasing moments of haunting vulnerability.
