TRANSCRIPT Bullseye with Jesse Thorn: Delroy Lindo

Delroy Lindo is a veteran actor and writer. Born in London to Jamaican parents, Delroy spent his childhood moving from place to place. As a teenager, he moved with his family to Toronto and then San Francisco, where he began studying acting at the American Conservatory Theater. He spent the next decade alternating between movie roles and Broadway stages. His versatility in “Crooklyn,” “Get Shorty,” “The Cider House Rules,” and more only increased his demand. Currently, Delroy is starring in the new Hulu series “Unprisoned.” It’s about a father who reconnects with his adult daughter after serving a 17-year prison sentence. He plays Edwin, whose life changes when he moves in with his therapist daughter Paige, played by Kerry Washington. Delroy has been a public figure for a long time, and for most of that time, he didn’t really talk about himself. Now? He’s writing a memoir. On this episode of Bullseye, we asked him what changed.
