Colman Domingo Discusses Tailoring, Style & His Career
For Colman Domingo’s cover, he discusses tailoring, the joy of style, and being one of the most celebrated men in Hollywood. The actor, whose career spans three decades, told Vogue that he’s proud to be at the top of call sheets after his role in Euphoria catapulted him there.
“I think that was the beginning of people seeing me as a leading man,” Domingo says to writer Marley Marius. “I’d been a supportive player for many long years, happily. And for a long time I thought maybe the lead was always meant for someone else…while knowing that I could probably do well if I had the opportunity.”
