Nine years after making his Broadway debut in King Hedley II, Stephen McKinley Henderson earned his first Tony nomination for his work opposite Denzel Washington in Fences. Now, thirteen years later, he's back with another Tony nomination for a role that has already won him an Obie Award- 'Pops' in Between Riverside and Crazy.

"This Broadway community... that's the thing," he told BroadwayWorld's Richard Ridge. "You know that when you get a nomination that you'll get to be in the midst of the community. Nobody gets to see everything... but to get to see everyone [is so special]"

Below, watch as Stephen chats more about the show's long journey to Broadway, why the theatre community is so important to him, and so much more. Plus, check out who he is up against and catch up on all the latest Tony Awards coverage!
