Although Skins was a major moment for its young cast, Daniel Kaluuya admitted during an interview with GQ that he frequently felt like the odd man out. When they shot on location in Lithuania, "I was moving through this packed shopping center, and people were parting. I looked back and I felt like Moses! There was a f*****g line, a parting line of white people, for me. It literally felt like some supernatural, f****d-up s**t." The British actor was just 17 at the time.
In fact, as Kaluuya told The Sunday Times, he moved to the States because getting work in England was becoming impossible. "I was going for a lot of stuff," he explained. "But I wasn't getting roles because of the color of my skin. It wasn't fair. It was a trap." It was a smart, albeit necessary, move on the actor's part. He was nominated (per IMDb) for an Oscar for his Get Out role and nabbed a Golden Globe win for Judas and the Black Messiah (even if he was cut off midway through accepting, per Variety).
