While walking the TIFF red carpet last week, Viola Davis said that embodying an African warrior who leads an all-female battalion in The Woman King was just part of the gig.
"Your job as an actor is to humanize your character. Nobody is strong all the time," Viola Davis told CBC News' Eli Glasner ahead of the film's Sept. 16 theatrical release.
"Nobody's without vulnerability, no one's without trauma, secrets or whatever," she said. "So I was just doing my job. And those vulnerabilities are also in our leaders; they're also human. No matter what."
