Colman Domingo predicts that his Euphoria character will “stay with (him) for a long time”.<\/p>\n
The Oscar-nominated actor made sporadic appearances during the three seasons of the HBO show, playing former drug addict and Rue’s sponsor Ali in 11 out of 26 episodes.<\/p>\n
However, Domingo’s screentime increased significantly in the last two episodes of the third and final season. In the penultimate episode, audiences finally saw his backstory as a drug addict, and he was the main character in the second half of the series finale.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on the experience in an interview with Variety, The Running Man star shared that he went on “a great, great journey playing Ali”, a character who is “trying to move with grace” and help others in a challenging world. <\/p>\n
“What a beautiful character, you know? I’ve enjoyed playing Ali, and if this is indeed the final season, I think I’ve given Ali everything,” he said. “He’s been a gift to me, and hopefully a blessing to others. He’s a character that I think will stay with me for a very long time. He’s incredibly human and complicated like everyone else, but he’s always searching for the light.”<\/p>\n
After the final episode aired in late May, HBO officials confirmed that the show had concluded after three seasons. <\/p>\n
Domingo revealed that he saw a cut of the final episode a couple of months before its broadcast and was “floored” by it. <\/p>\n
“It felt incredible and purposeful and clear. It felt honest to Ali’s journey. I loved it,” he gushed, before praising creator Sam Levinson for giving audiences a glimpse at Ali’s past. <\/p>\n
“It’s a beautiful stroke of genius from Sam Levinson. And he gave me so much faith and trust that I could deliver, and trust that the audience will be with me and understand,” he added. <\/p>\n
Euphoria season three also starred Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi and Alexa Demie.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
