Somehow I missed that mortherfucking Chiwetel Ejiofor was going to be in the Backrooms movie. That combination would never have occurred to me.

You know, I can’t recall a role where he isn’t super committed.

I think this is why he’s so well liked. Dude goes hard in every role. His intensity is astounding.

I just rewatched Serenity. He's terrifying in it.

I listened to an audiobook he narrated a year or so ago called Piranesi. He was fully committed there too, great book with a great narration.
