“Not only I am lucky to have a rich, complex and flawed character to portray in Jackson, but I also have a front ro seat for Jafar’s incredible change,” he continued.
“After seeing him in a rehearsal, my mind was blown away. The way Jafar is broadcasting his late uncle is something divine. His talent and avatar of Michael’s essence is just at another level,” Kolman concluded.
