Die-hard Kendrick Sampson fans know exactly where to find him on the small screen, from "The Vampire Diaries" to "How to Get Away with Murder" (via TVGuide). But if you ask the 33-year-old actor, he says that working on "Insecure" has been unlike any other show he's been involved with for a few reasons — with one especially big reason coming right to mind for him. "This is the Blackest show I've been on," he said, "which is wonderful." He explained that while he has worked with lots of "Black creatives" in the past, the cast and crew of "Insecure" was unlike any other show he's worked on. "I know more Black women directors now than, I think, any other demographic. And Black directors in general. Yeah, it's been a blessing. It's been different. In good ways."

But why is this so significant to Sampson? He explained that the chance to work with a crew of talented Black creatives was made even more special when those very same people were "protesting and organizing" by his side on the streets over the years. From this experience, he learned that "it's possible to have a career and be supported while standing up for the liberation of those who need it most [...] I do believe that it holds a very special place in my heart and definitely gave me a model that I want to replicate and enhance and do better with," he shared.
