Yvonne Huff can currently be seen on TV in NCIS: Los Angeles and Rake. She is also co-starring in Wendy Graf’s new play, Closely Related Keys (see our REVIEW). She was cast in the play a little over a week before the show opened. She talks about her process preparing the role of Neyla, a woman with an Iraqi mother and an African American father, and we discuss the responsibilities of writing from an experience that is not our own.
