![]() But I knew it would happen when it was supposed to happen. ![]() But I had conflicts the rights were tied up for a while. Yes, and I didn’t expect it to take so long to happen. ![]() You actually mentioned Purlie Victorious in interviews way back when you were still doing Hamilton. So we tried to make good use of that sort of golden window of time and opportunity. And we didn’t know if these opportunities would ever be available to us again. This is what happened to those of us who were lucky enough to be a part of the original Hamilton company. What took you so long to get back?Īfter Hamilton, there were simply opportunities I never had before. It’s been seven years since you left your role of Aaron Burr in Hamilton on Broadway. So now I am concentrating on one special film a year, if I am lucky enough to get one, and one Broadway show or one album that I spend a couple of years doing. I guess I can say this in print: I didn’t like it so much. There are people in the biz who do three movies a year, and there was a little season of my life where I got a taste of that. I’m actually liking the rhythm of life I am in right now. And then there’s your big Broadway show, Purlie Victorious: A Non-Confederate Romp Through the Cotton Patch. You’ve been filming a much-anticipated sequel to The Exorcist. Since then, you’ve released your first children’s book and a boxed set of you singing Christmas songs. And you were in Serbia, of all places, filming the sequel to Knives Out. I was in a noisy New York hotel lobby, waiting out a magnificent storm. The last time I talked to you was in 2021. How can I be most helpful to you? How can I take you the way that you arrived to me, the way I received you, and help you learn these five things? That’s what parenting is about to me. But I think what we really need to do is pick five things and find 1,000 different ways to teach them those five things. I used to think that we need to teach our kids 1,000 things. Right before we jumped on this call, my 17-year-old forgot something I told him two minutes prior. But that’s the gig! Teaching them all these baby lessons that can become foundational and last a lifetime, even though I know they’ll forget the vast majority of what I try to tell them. It’s pretty crazy to think about it, as a father of a two- and a six-year-old - to think about my little ones as old as your kids are or as grown-ass people. And if my math is correct, yours are two and six?
