Jeremy Pope On How His “Most Demanding” Role In ‘The Inspection’ Helped Him Connect More With His Blackness And Queerness
02.12.2022 - 01:05 / deadline.com
Two-time Tony nominee Jeremy Pope was immediately drawn to the semi-autobiographical story of Ellis French, who joins the Marines thinking that if he dies in combat, at least he’s worth more as a Black gay man in uniform than one who dies on the streets. Though Jeremy had stints on Ryan Murphy’s Hollywood and Steven Canals’ Pose, those performances did not prepare him for the emotional and grueling shoot of The Inspection, from writer/director Elegance Bratton. But his responsibility to his director and to Ellis allowed Pope to give a performance he hopes will inspire other Black queer youths as much as the role inspired him.
DEADLINE: How did you first get introduced to writer/director Elegance Bratton?
JEREMY POPE: My team and I are always investigating cool creatives, directors, producers that speak the same love language, in regards to the arts, that I do. Elegance was one of those people that my agent at the time was just very passionate about and she was like, he has a project which feels almost too right. So, I was sent the script; fell in love with it and really wanted to connect with Elegance. I remember after I read the script, my big thing was like, “Well, where is he now?” I almost needed the Part 2 to what happened after. I had so many questions on how he became this light of a person and to be so smart and so funny and just excited about life after going through so much.
I hopped on a Zoom with him the next day and we just chatted it up and connected on life and what it means to be queer and Black artists. Even though this was his first big project, we shared a lot of similar ideals and I think that’s really where the collaborative process began with The Inspection.

Jeremy Pope And The Black Queer Perspective Of ‘The Inspection’ [Interview]
Jeremy Pope is a newly recognized Independent Spirit Award Lead Performance nominee for “The Inspection,” but the lack of buzz regarding an Oscar nomination is somewhat disconcerting. In a year with a dearth of truly deserving nominees, the 30-year-old actor should be a shoo-in for his incredible performance in writer and director Elegance Bratton‘s autobiographical feature.
