Manage episode 401734313 series 2938169
Isha Blaaker joins The Art of Kindness with Robert Peterpaul to discuss his impactful new film Origin (based on Isabel Wilkerson's acclaimed book Caste), working with Ava DuVernay and more.
Isha Blaaker is an actor and model who was raised in the Netherlands. He broke into the entertainment industry as a model, starring in major international luxury brand campaigns for Hugo Boss, L’Oreal, Ralph Lauren, and an Estée Lauder to name just a few. As he became more known in the fashion world, he developed a love for a different art - acting. After making his mark on screen in Fear the Walking Dead and Tyler Perry’s A Madea Homecoming, Isha booked the incredibly important film we are here to spotlight today: Ava DuVernay’s Origin. Isha plays real-life trailblazing anthropologist Dr. Allison Davis in the sprawling drama, exploring the notion of caste in America. His character embarks on a landmark journey with his wife, portrayed by Jasmine Cephas Jones, from the segregated U.S. South to Nazi-era Berlin.
