Watch Tonight Before You Comment... #Repost @ethanhawke : Frederick Douglass & John Brown are two giants of #TheGoodLordBird, but the absolute center of our show —the engine, the heart, and love in it — comes from Joshua Caleb Johnson who makes a big time debut tonight as “Onion” Shackleford, the hero of our story. A lot of amazing young men came in to audition but with his talent, grace, wit, humility, confidence and brains, he claimed this role as his. I can’t wait for people to see the series and fall in love with him — the way ALL of us working on the show did. Thank you @officialjoshuacalebjohnson and Saundra (his AMAZING mother). And thank you to our casting director @TheRealKimColeman.
