Tarell Alvin McCraney won an Oscar for co-writing the screenplay for "Moonlight" and has now penned and executive produced the series about a 14-year-old prodigy named David handling the pressures of an elite education and the dangers of his Miami neighborhood. Akili McDowell plays the title character and both he and McCraney share how they relate to the code switching done by David to fit into both worlds. They also explain the importance of showing emotion and highlighting the tenderness of black men and boys. Plus, McDowell shares the acting tips he got from co-star Phylicia Rashad.
