This is the most brilliant casting choice ever.

Jesse Williams will be playing Harry Belafonte in a new biopic about the civil rights activist’s life. The actor revealed his upcoming role on W. Kamau Bell’s podcast.

The Grey’s Anatomy star explained the role will be a perfect merger of his passion and skills.

“I care more about activism and social justice and law than I do about acting. I have an awesome job that I love, but there’s this magnetic force that is constantly pulling me toward activism. I just have to do it” Williams said. “I’m a father now, I’ve got responsibilities, and there’s only 24 hours in a day.”

Even though he’s busy, he looks good doing it all.
