Brian Tyree Henry starred in Dope Thief , which ended its run on Apple TV+. The actor says he's past the initial fame that came with his Emmy-nominated breakout on Donald Glover’s Atlanta .

Henry plays Ray , a formerly incarcerated recovering addict who goes on the run after a robbery.

Paper Boi was nominated for an Oscar for Causeway .

He says he's looking to be an executive producer for the upcoming series of Dope Thief .

The rapper says he wants to reclaim his name, but he still has work to do at the same time.

The actor says, "If it aligns, then who am I to deny it? It's addictive".

There’s a lot of love in Ray Ray , but it also comes with bullets and tears.

I would like to show you the softer side of who I am, he says.

I don't want to be a man who's spending his career convincing anybody of anything—that's already part of my job.
