Before jrmypope took on the role of Archie in Netflix’s Hollywood, he wanted to make sure there would be people of color writing the scripts and directing the show: “Are there going to be people that look like me on the other side of the table?”
was getting ready to go to the Tonys. He was attending theater’s biggest night as a two-time nominee, one for his Broadway debut in “Choir Boy” and another for portraying Eddie Kendricks in “Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of The Temptations.”, who was casting “Hollywood,” his Netflix series about a reimagined Hollywood in the 1940s, in which everyone was given a shot at stardom no matter their gender, race or sexual orientation.
“When we got the scripts and [Murphy] started directing us, I could just see there was a true love story to be had with the relationship that me and Jake had. What we were creating and what we were bringing to these characters, it is something that you feel like you want to champion and root for,” said Pope, who made his television acting debut with “Hollywood.”
In the end, Pope hopes audiences were left with some things to think about. “What if Rock Hudson was able to be out and able to be the movie star that he ended up becoming to be, but also be in love with someone, be in love with a black man? Be like the couple that walked the Oscars, holding each other’s hand, supporting each other. What if?” said Pope. “That is the story and the narrative that we’re telling. That feels very inspiring and hopeful.
“I loved seeing everyone just out and about and recognizing the community and the power and it’s all built on love. It’s like who doesn’t want that?” he said. “You just walk in the streets and hugs and high fives and rainbows and colorful things and great music.”
