Last night at a screening of the upcoming movie, “Let it Shine,” I got a chance to interview the VERY handsome Hal Sparks (Donald Davenport), who plays the husband of Angel Parker (Tasha Davenport) on the Disney sitcom, “Lab Rats.” This is a pretty awesome advancement in depictions of interracial relationships on television, because it’s the first time a lead sitcom couple is interracially married, with the wife black and the husband white. What’s more, the female character comes into the marriage with a black son.

He was very candid we me on the issue of race and racism, and he’s now got a new fan!
