Colman Domingo’s star has seen a meteoric rise the past decade. But the West Philadelphia native and Academy Award-nominated actor hasn’t forgotten the importance of his formative years, including the time he spent at Temple University. Earlier this week, while in town to give the school’s commencement speech, Domingo caught up with some old friends from his college days. One of them was KYW Newsradio’s own John McDevitt, who shares memories about what the younger Domingo was like.
