When veteran actor Earl Cameron stood at the lectern in the United Nations General Assembly hall, portraying an African despot for the film The Interpreter, he had one of those strange moments where the larger reality of things snaps into focus.
On the one hand, he was playing the corrupt and unsavoury president of a fictional African country – a role he had no hesitation in accepting.
"I feel that an actor must portray life, and despotic characters need to be portrayed and shown up," he said.
On the other hand, as a Baha'i, the scene reminded him very much of the Baha'i belief in the need for world unity.
