Isaiah John opened up about getting the role of “Leon Simmons” on FX’s “Snowfall” after not getting auditions and working as a janitor in Atlanta. Isaiah explained that he wasn’t sure if he’d get the audition for the show and he was surprised when he was flown out to do a read with Damson Idris that turned into him getting the job.

Moving along, Isaiah spoke about the jarring rape scene on the show, which he said he knew would be a big talking point after the second episode. To hear more of what Isaiah had to say about the show, including working with WC and John Singleton, hit the above clip.
