Yolonda Ross- Hot Seat Interview- Actor- Absolution

Born in Omaha, Nebraska, Yolonda Ross hasn’t just burst out of the Cornhusker state but has become one of the best working character actors today. She’s been nominated for two Independent Spirit Awards and won a Gotham. Ross has wrapped her 7th season of The Chi, establishing herself as a fan favorite, and continues to work with spectacular directors such as Todd Haynes and Denzel Washington. Absolution might be some of her most impressive work yet, playing Looper, a woman who makes a connection with Liam Neeson’s character, both two lonely souls connecting over their difficult past. I had the privilege of talking with Yolonda on the Hot Seat about her new home in Chicago, connecting on set with Liam Neeson, and her passion for being an artist. Watch it here:
