Trivia: Derek Luke was working at the Sony Studios gift shop when he met Antwone Fisher who was working on the lot as a security guard. When Fisher’s screenplay was bought by Fox Searchlight, Luke asked Fisher for a copy of the script. He went to the casting director unannounced and asked to audition. He has since admitted “I was so terrible I started crying” but Luke was invited to audition again. Denzel Washington came to the gift shop to tell Luke that he got the part.
