Richard Mofe Damijo’s life is an inspiration. As an actor, a lawyer, a journalist, or a public servant, whatever solo part fate has written for him, RMD’s great performance in the symphony of life has been incontestable. “Frank Sinatra Has Cold”, the seminal profile by Gay Talese for the April 1966 issue of Esquire, occupied my mind. Unlike Sinatra, RMD did not refuse to be interviewed. Before he got on set, RMD gave me his phone for safekeeping.
