If they ever need another actor to play Don Cornelius on the series American Soul, Chris Thomas has the voice and look.

He has a plethora of stories to share. He needs to write a book. I remember the HBO Special that he did with Whoopi Goldberg. He has toured with so many excellent comedians including the great Paul Mooney (R.I.P.) Thanks for doing this interview! I loved it! ❤❤❤
