The Englishman, who has been one of our finest screen actors for some 30 years — he was twice Oscar-nominated before he was even 30 — reflects on his special relationship with director Anthony Minghella, the sorts of roles that he deliberately avoided and why he has done some of his best work in recent years, including as an FBI agent pursuing white nationalists in Justin Kurzel's new film.

Lionel Richie - 'The Greatest Night in Pop'
The legendary singer/songwriter reflects on his path from small-town Alabama to the biggest stages in the world, first with the Commodores and then as a solo artist; the hits on which he worked along the way, and why so many of them center on love; and why “We are the World,” in particular — the subject of an Emmy- and Grammy-nominated and Oscar-eligible Netflix documentary — means so much to him.
