Ever since his breakout role in L.A. Law, actor Blair Underwood (Rules of Engagement, Just Cause, In Treatment) has been fighting against being pigeonholed, and searching for new psychological puzzles to solve through the characters he plays. He talks to Guy about the profound influence both his father and Sidney Poitier had on his career, about the moments he thought that career might be over, and about the powerful role that imagination plays in his craft.
