Kelvin Harrison Jr. is keeping things musical after his latest role in the classical musical biopic Chevalier, based on the life of eminent 18th-century composer Joseph Bologne. Next, he’ll be swapping the violin for Disney as he appears in Barry Jenkins’ The Lion King prequel as the villainous Scar.
Speaking to GamesRadar+ on the press tour for Chevalier, Harrison Jr. opened up about signing on for another music-based movie. "I wanted to play Scar not to sing songs in a kids’ movie, but I wanted to play Scar the character," he tells us. "The characters get me going. Barry Jenkins gets me going – the directors, characters, and writers make me excited. And then if they are, they're the ones that are interested in music all the time." He laughs, "They're the crazy ones."
