With Nanny now available to stream on PrimeVideo, we spoke with sinquawalls about his chemistry with Anna Diop, working with a visionary such as Nikyatu Jusu, and what the role of Malik means to him:
Sinqua Walls is best known for his role as Vernon Boyd in Teen Wolf, but he takes on a different challenge in the Prime Video movie Nanny. Written and directed by Nikyatu Jusu in her feature debut, Nanny follows a Senegalese immigrant as she navigates her new life in the U.S. as a nanny for a wealthy family while working to bring her own son over from Senegal.
Sinqua Walls: Yeah, working with Nikyatu was a gift for me. I always say I hope that we can work together as many times as possible in the future. The audition process was somewhat like our interview process. It happened all on Zoom and it was an organic process. I think she already had an idea of the people that she was considering.
You mentioned earlier that you talked to Nikyatu about your own ideas after you read the script. What was your first reaction when you read it? Sinqua Walls: Absolutely. I think I approached it from a perspective of always being a student. Growing up as an African American and still learning a lot of layers of my own history, I'm not as aware of the lineage that Nikyatu did understand from being Sierra Leonean and having that be something that she was brought up with, or Anna being Senegalese and being brought up knowing that. So it gave me a space to really just listen.
Sinqua Walls: Absolutely. I think it was really important to me to play characters that are really versed in duality. And we don't place them in one systemic environment, but they can traverse many waters. And I think that's very similar to me in life, having gone through different life circumstances and elevating and growing. And what I love about the portrayal of Malik was in the script. Being a domestic worker is a very valiant job.
