Colman Domingo
Colman Jason Domingo (born November 28, 1969) is an American actor. Prominent on both screen and stage since the 2010s, Domingo has received various accolades, including a Primetime Emmy Award, and nominations for two Academy Awards and two Tony Awards. Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2024.
Domingo's early Broadway roles include the play Well (2005), the musical Passing Strange (2008), and the musical The Scottsboro Boys (2011), the later of which earned him a Tony Award nomination. He reprised the role in the 2014 West End production, receiving a Laurence Olivier Award nomination. In 2018, he wrote the book for the Broadway musical Summer: The Donna Summer Musical.
After early roles in various incarnations of the Law & Order series and as part of the main cast for The Big Gay Sketch Show, Domingo had his breakthrough playing Victor Strand in the AMC series Fear the Walking Dead (2015–2023). He gained wider acclaim for his recurring role as the recovering drug addict Ali on the HBO series Euphoria (2019–present), winning the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series in 2022. He was further Emmy-nominated for the Netflix comedy series The Four Seasons (2025).
Domingo received consecutive Academy Award for Best Actor nominations for his portrayals of civil rights activist Bayard Rustin in the biopic Rustin (2023) and a prison inmate in the drama Sing Sing (2024). He has also acted in the films Lincoln (2012), The Butler (2013), Selma (2014), If Beale Street Could Talk (2018), Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (2020), Zola (2021), and The Color Purple (2023).
Domingo was born and raised as the third of four children in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in a working class household. His mother was a homemaker and also worked at a bank, while his stepfather, Clarence, sanded floors for a living. His mother died in 2006, the day after Domingo's audition for the theater musical Passing Strange. His stepfather had died a few months earlier.
Domingo's biological father was from Belize, with relatives from Guatemala. He left the family when Domingo was nine years old. Domingo had a speech impediment, a lisp, as a child and was sent to speech therapy classes by his mother.
Domingo is a 1987 Overbrook High School graduate, and later attended Temple University, where he majored in journalism. Soon thereafter, he moved to San Francisco, California, where he started acting, mainly in theatre productions.
From 2009 to 2017, Domingo lived in the federally subsidized artists' building Manhattan Plaza.
