Clarence Coleman Sing Sing SR Exclusive
Summary The story of John "Divine G" Whitfield is brought to life in the new film, Sing Sing. Oscar nominee Colman Domingo stars as Whitfield alongside a cast comprised mainly of formerly incarcerated people, alumni of Sing Sing Prison's "Rehabilitation Through the Arts" program. This unique casting decision is not a gimmick; it adds an extra layer of authenticity and empathy to the tale of how RTA is a life-changing program for people in the prison system.
Sing Sing's Colman Domingo & Clarence Maclin Flip The "Prison Movie" On Its Head Close Screen Rant: I've seen hundreds of movies and done hundreds of these interviews at this point in my career.

The gentlemen would come do some rewrites, bring them back, present. We'd talk about it, "Oh, that makes sense. This makes sense. This is cool. This is not." And then we do it again and again and build this until we felt like, "Oh, this is what we want to say.
But I think it's interesting what we download and what we've been given. And I love that our film is working in this real slick, sly way. Because every time, I know, I see it on people's faces. They're like, Oh, here's going to be the scene where he gets stabbed. Here comes a scene where this happens, but it's transformed. I think everyone's got to unpack their own unconscious bias about what they think they know about these human beings.
