Interview: Isaiah Washington talks playing the Beltway Sniper in 'Blue Caprice'


After being largely out of the spotlight since his unceremonious exit from Grey's Anatomy, Isaiah Washington roared back into prominence at this year's Sundance Film Festival with a powerful performance in Blue Caprice. Directed by newcomer Alexandre Moors, the film has Washington stepping into the shoes of the "Beltway Sniper" John Allen Muhammad, in a deep and terrifying look at the bond he shared with Lee Boyd Malvo, played by the equally impressive Tequan Richmond.

I had a chance to sit down and have a spirited conversation with them about the difficulties in making a film on such a touchy subject (especially here in DC); dealing with such a small budget; and if playing Muhammad took Washington down some dark paths personally. So listen in and enjoy!
