Interview with Reginald Hudlin and Shola Lynch

TV Interview!

 

Interview with Reginald Hudlin and Shola Lynch of the documentary 2-part series, “Number One On the Call Sheet” on Apple TV+ by Suzanne 3/19/25

It was an honor to speak to these two filmmakers, especially after watching their series about all of the wonderful, successful, black movie actors that were interviewed. They were both very happy to be there and eager to speak about this project. They easily answered some of my tougher questions. Some of our most beloved actors from the past 50 years were interviewed in their doc. It was a joy to see some of my favorites share insights about their careers. I think you’ll enjoy our interview, and especially, the two-part documentary series, which debuts March 28 on Apple TV+.

Reginald Hudlin is unique in the entertainment business because of his success as a writer, producer, director and executive. To quote cultural critic Jimi Izrael,
“Hudlin is a modern-day Gordon Parks, a true monster in the game who totally re-did the blueprint: what some people used to call a renaissance man. I dig him because he made me think outside of the box. Hudlin writes and directs movies, pens a comic book, and he was running BET. That’s multi-tasking for your ass.” More
