. Riley reached out to him about the role via email: “13 foot tall Black man from Oakland. I want you as the lead.” The show, though shot through with surrealism, addresses real-world problems: economic inequality, the exploitation of the working class, and how to organize against it.
Jerome spoke to TIME about inhabiting Cootie, working with Riley, and what he’ll take with him from the character.creates this rich sense of place in Oakland. The city clearly means a lot to Boots, the same way you’ve said the Bronx means so much to you. How did you honor that? How did you learn the culture?
One of my favorite lines in the entire script is when Cootie goes on that monologue about how he feels like he was abused for not listening to bass. It’s just such a testament of Boots’ passion for both music and filmmaking. To see a musician put in a script in such beautiful detail the feeling of what it feels like to listen to bass is so important, and it goes exactly with who Boots Riley is as a person.work really well with Boots.
