Actor Antonio David Lyons, who played the role of Thomas Mirama in the critically acclaimed movie, “Hotel Rwanda,” will speak in the Law Center Auditorium Thursday, Sept. 8, at noon.
Lyons lived in South Africa for two years at a time when the country was trying to end apartheid and the genocide in Rwanda had ended. A first-generation American, he will share his perspective on how to exist within a global community.
He has used many acting experiences as fuel for his work with middle and high school students, employing theater and drama to discuss methods of conflict resolution. He conducted extensive research for his role in “Hotel Rwanda,” a film that illustrates the most tragic consequences of unfettered conflict.
Lyons will spend time before and after his speech with UT film and theatre students. He will visit classes and discuss what it’s like to work in the industry.
