Trevor Jackson, Angelique Rivera, Joey Pollari & Connor Jessup Hit Up 'American Crime' For Your Consideration Event

Trevor Jackson poses with his beautiful American Crime co-star Angelique Rivera inside The Television Academy’s “For Your Consideration” Event at the Directors Guild of America in Los Angeles on Friday (May 6).

The two young actors were joined by co-stars Joey Pollari, Connor Jessup, Regina King, Felicity Huffman, Lili Taylor,Michael J. McDonald, Elvis Nolasco, and Richard Cabral.

“I don’t understand why people were running away from it,” Joey recently shared with Vanity Fair about his role on the show. “I was excited to delve into [it].”

He added, “[In one scene, my character] Eric says, ‘I’m gay but I’m not a faggot,’ which was the first time that that word was said on ABC. I was told moments before shooting. That baffles me, considering all the other words that are allowed, and some that aren’t allowed. From moment one, it seemed like it was about something so much bigger than his sexuality. It was about shame, and male aggression, and that conversation within sports. I couldn’t wait to be part of that tapestry.”
