In episode eight of the “How I Library” podcast, I Love Libraries editor and show host Phil Morehart speaks with actor and comedian Lil Rel Howery.
Howery has appeared in films such as “Get Out,” “Free Guy,” and “Judas and the Black Messiah,” and in the TV shows “The Carmichael Show,” Rel,” and “Eureka!” And now he’s back on the big screen in the film version of Crockett Johnson's beloved 1955 children’s book, “Harold and the Purple Crayon,” starring as both the animated and life-action versions of Harold’s friend Moose.
Morehart spoke with Howery about bringing Johnson’s book to the screen, the power of imagination, the intricacies of playing a moose, growing up in Chicago, and of course, his love of libraries.
