2005–2017: Established actress

[edit]

In 2005, King was cast in Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous[26] and began voicing the characters Huey and Riley Freeman for the animated series The Boondocks.[27] In 2007, King played the main role of Sandra Palmer in season six of television series 24 and acted in films Year of the Dog and This Christmas.[28] From 2009 to 2013, King played Detective Lydia Adams in TNT police drama Southland,[29] receiving multiple Critics' Choice Television Award nominations,[30][31] and winning two NAACP Image Awards.[32][33]

After taking part in Rick Famuyiwa's romantic comedy film Our Family Wedding, King appeared as guest judge in RuPaul's Drag Race.[34] In 2013, King played Caltech HR manager Janine Davis in the television series The Big Bang Theory.[35] In 2014, she was cast in two television series, The Strain and Shameless.[36]

In 2015, King was a cast member on ABC's John Ridley-penned ensemble drama American Crime, playing three roles including a devout member of the Nation of Islam and the sister of a drug addict accused of murder.[37] In 2015 and 2016, King won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or a Movie for her roles.[38][37] Also in 2015, King starred in The Leftovers, which earned her a Peabody Award.[39]

2018–present: Awards success and directorial debut

[edit]

In 2018, King played the mother of a murdered black teenager in the Netflix original series Seven Seconds, winning her third Primetime Emmy Award.[44] Her performance in the 2018 film If Beale Street Could Talk, directed by Barry Jenkins, garnered critical acclaim and earned her the Golden Globe Award and Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.[45][46] King additionally won the Critics' Choice, Los Angeles Film Critics, New York Film Critics, National Society of Film Critics, and numerous other critic awards for Supporting Actress, making her the most awarded actor of 2018 in film.[47] In regards to King's performance, Richard Roeper for the Chicago Sun-Times wrote: "Regina King is blazingly good in a nomination-worthy performance as Tish's mother. Even when there's fire in her eyes as she defends her daughter, you can see her primary motivating force is love. The love she has for her child, and for the child of her child."[48] In his review for The Observer, Mark Kermode wrote: "As for Regina King, her brilliantly modulated performance is a masterclass in physical understatement. One moment stands out [...] 'Mamma... ,' says Tish, tentatively, and even before she turns to face us, an almost imperceptible movement of King's neck and shoulders tells us that Sharon knows exactly what her daughter is about to say."[49]

Re-teaming with The Leftovers creator Damon Lindelof, King starred in the 2019 limited series Watchmen, for which she received acclaim and won the TCA Award for Individual Achievement in Drama, Critics' Choice Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series, and her fourth Primetime Emmy Award. In an IndieWire review for the series, Ben Travers wrote: "King is nothing short of amazing — yes, she's got an Oscar and three Emmys, but she puts even more range on display in a turn that effortlessly pivots between invulnerable and vulnerable."[50] In a decade-end list by Caroline Framke and Daniel D'Addario for Variety, King's performance was amongst the best of the 2010s in television.[51] In July 2019, it was announced King would direct One Night in Miami... based upon the play of the same name.[52][53] In a CBS interview regarding the movie, King said taking on the project was daunting and "scary in a good way" and described the connection she felt to these characters saying, "I felt like I knew all of these men. I saw my son in these conversations. I saw my father in these conversations. They love, they're vulnerable, they're strong."[8] When asked about her experience of directing in an interview with Rolling Stone, King says "I love being the person that the idea starts from. And then you give these thoughts to your department heads, and they get excited and take it even further, and then bring things to the table that you may not have thought about. It's really fun. I love doing puzzles. Hardcore. I'm a puzzler. And so maybe a bit of that spirit is what's exciting."[54] The film had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival on September 7, 2020, the first film directed by an African-American woman to be selected in the festival's history.[55] King received numerous awards and nominations at major critics' prizes, earning a Best Director nomination at the Golden Globe Awards[46] and being recognized with the Robert Altman Award at the Independent Spirit Awards.[56]

In October 2021, King starred in Netflix's American Western film The Harder They Fall, directed by Jeymes Samuel,[57] winning several awards including the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture.[58]

King next produced Netflix's Shirley, a biopic about the first black congresswoman Shirley Chisholm during her historic presidential campaign, and starred as the title character. It was written and directed by John Ridley, with whom she previously worked on American Crime.[59][60] In May 2021, it was announced that King would direct race-themed monster movie Bitter Root for Legendary Entertainment.[61] She served as an executive producer and directed the David E. Kelley–written television series A Man in Full for Netflix, based on the Tom Wolfe novel of the same name.[62]

Styles and themes

[edit]

In her directorial projects, King has aimed to create movies about representation, advocacy for diversity and uplifting unseen storytellers.[63] King has further cemented her passion in these themes onstage at the 2019 Golden Globes stating, "In the next two years, everything that I produce — I am making a vow and it's going to be tough — to make sure that everything I produce is 50% women."[63]

Personal life

[edit]

King was married to Ian Alexander Sr. from 1997 to 2007. They had one son, Ian Alexander Jr., who was born in 1996 and later became a disc jockey and recording artist.[64] Ian Jr. died by suicide on January 21, 2022, at age 26.[65][66] Since the loss of her son, King has brought up important conversations about the complexities of grief and loss as well as the importance of mental health awareness.[8] On the subject of mental health in an interview with Robin Roberts on Good Morning America, King said, "When it comes to depression, people expect it to look a certain way and they expect it to look heavy. And people expect that…to have to experience this and not be able to have the time to just sit with Ian's choice, which I respect and understand, you know, that he didn't wanna be here anymore, that's a hard thing for other people to receive because they did not live our experience, did not live Ian's journey."[8]
