By so many measures, it would seem thatJeffrey Wright ([link removed]) — the dad, the actor, the well-appointed man — has it all figured out. As a father, he deeply understands the assignment, calling the parenting of Elijah and Juno, now young adults, “The most rewarding thing. But it is also the most relentless thing.” As an actor, he has become a household name on stage and screen with a career span as impressive as it is robust, with meaty roles in blockbusters (No Time To Die, Batman), TV shows (Westworld), Indies (Basquiat), and more.

But Wright isn’t a person to settle for success — or status quo in any sort. There’s always more to figure out. This is why he goes back to directors like Wes Anderson whose Asteroid City, in theaters on June 16, includes Wright as the Junior Stargazer award show host, five-star General Grif Gibson.

In conversation with Wright, it’s clear that he feels the weight of pushing expectations in all that he does. In fatherhood where he looks up to his grandfather, a “provider” and “hub of the community,” he knows that the job is never done. He’s in a continual state of discovering — and hopes others might join him in doing much of the same.
