In Parts One and Two of our exclusive and fascinating interview with Timothy D. Stickney, the multi-talented artist discussed his draw to classical Shakespearean theater, his reaction to being told he doesn't "exist" as a black man in the arts, his response to ignorance and prejudice in his professional career, as well as his meticulous attention to R.J.'s dialogue on One Life To Live. In the third and final part below, Stickney reveals racism that took place on and off screen, and ways that we can all be part of affecting change in our communities.
We Love Soaps TV: In 12 years I don’t remember R.J. Gannon ever having one hot and heavy love scene. The other men that started in 1994-95 were constantly taking their clothes off. How much of that was racially motivated?
Timothy D. Stickney: I often had opportunities squashed. They will never,...

Soap fans know Timothy D. Stickney best for his fascinating portrayal of R.J. Gannon on One Life To Live.

In this exclusive multi-part interview, Stickney shares his experience of performing Shakespeare, coping with racism in the theater and television community, and insights into how prejudice and "quiet fears" continue to inform the entertainment we witness today.
In Part One below, Stickney shares his attraction to the play "Macbeth"and shares aspects of his current staging of this classic piece. How do the themes relate to current political events? Continue reading to find out.
