Noah's Arc actor Darryl Stephens on the state of Hollywood Today
Description
Graeme Smith sits down with actor, writer, and queer trailblazer Darryl Stephens, the star whose breakout role in hit US network TV show Noah’s Arc became a defining moment for Black queer visibility on screen.
Two decades from that show's first broadcast, and this year with Noah's Arc: The Movie, Darryl reflects on the show’s legacy and what it meant to millions who finally saw their own stories represented. He speaks candidly about navigating Hollywood as a gay Black man, how the industry has evolved, and where it still falls short.
We also get personal. Darryl is now a father, and he reflects on how parenthood has transformed his routines, his connection to the LA gay scene, and his own sense of self. What does fatherhood look like when your community, your career, and your identity have been shaped by queerness and visibility?
Finally, we dive into his creative life beyond acting including writing and storytelling.
