The Changeling's Directors Give LaKeith Stanfield His Flowers
“LaKeith [Stanfield] came into The Changeling with such dedication,” said Jonathan Van Tulleken, an executive producer/director on The Changeling. “I think it’s very rare to see an actor who brings his level of commitment to the set, and who is always digging through sort of the personal resonance in himself as well with the story. It really just makes the performance incredibly, incredibly grounded.”
Stanfield plays the lead role of Apollo Kagwa, and many who’ve seen the series complimented his performance. Van Tulleken and fellow episode director Michael Francis Williams had similar praise, with the latter calling out Stanfield for extending that professionalism to the rest of the cast. “[Lakeith] wasn’t in my episode so much,” explained Williams, who directed the seventh episode, “Stormy Weather.” Despite the actor’s limited screen time, Williams was surprised to see Stanfield on set during production.
