I knew I wanted to be an artist early on, but I decided to seriously pursue the profession when I auditioned for Juilliard.
Corey Hawkins -
I sort of have to have a positive outlook.
Corey Hawkins
-
I know that people get cast based on how they look in Hollywood.
Corey Hawkins -
It can't be all serious at all times.
Corey Hawkins -
Yes, I do feel a deep responsibility every time, every character, everything that I do.
Corey Hawkins -
I have family that are vets of the military. My grandfather served as well.
Corey Hawkins -
I like being a chameleon and doing things that are just so different that people will be like, 'Oh, that's him?'
Corey Hawkins -
Nothing's out of the realm. I think '24' has always keyed into that.
Corey Hawkins
-
There's good cops and bad cops, and the good cops have to hold the bad cops accountable. We have to hold the bad cops accountable, too.
Corey Hawkins -
The challenge is making sure that every single moment is honest, no matter what. It's doing Eric Carter justice. Not trying to fill Jack Bauer's shoes. Not trying to step into Kiefer's legacy.
Corey Hawkins -
In 2001, terrorism was fought in a completely different way.
Corey Hawkins -
To be honest, sometimes you have to know your rights.
Corey Hawkins -
I like being the underdog.

The only thing that I know how to do as an actor, as a trained actor, is you can't villainize the character you're playing. Whether it's a fictional character or a real character. Because then you operate from that sort of negative point of view, and you can't humanize him.

I'm so OCD about prep work and learning lines and stuff.
Corey Hawkins -
Sometimes you just need to raise your voice. And sometimes a little anger is necessary, to be honest.
Corey Hawkins -
I didn't grow up seeing faces of patriots, emotional and raw and gritty, who looked like me.
Corey Hawkins -
I want longevity in this career.
Corey Hawkins -
I like to surprise myself. I like to surprise my fans, too.
Corey Hawkins -
So you want to take the risk, and you want to step out there; you do it because that's what we have to do as actors. And sometimes in TV, it becomes big, and it becomes about the entertainment, but also, we have to focus in on the work.

Even before I was working off-Broadway, there were lots of different TV shows that I would actually say 'no' to, and my agents would be like, 'Are you crazy?' but they stuck with me because they know the kind of things that excite me.
Corey Hawkins -
We are a diverse people, man.
Corey Hawkins -
Eric Carter is a more raw, more emotional protagonist. He's a bit of an Everyman.
Corey Hawkins -
On '24,' you don't have time to emote and deal with stuff, because stuff just keeps happening. Every other minute, there's something crazy that's happening that's threatening this country.
