'Psych' star Dulé Hill on Hollywood diversity and the legacy of 'The West Wing'

The show has a devoted cult following: fans who call themselves “PsychOs.” What is it about the show that inspires such loyalty?

The protests across the country, among many other things, have put a spotlight on issues of diversity, inclusion and representation in entertainment. In your industry, television, where would you like to see change? I'm fairly confident that most of the people who have an ability to greenlight a project do not look like me. I have a very funny feeling that it's a very homogeneous group of people who have the power to say, “yes.” If you have a more diverse group on the top, then I think you'd have a more diverse group of projects that are being developed and get to air.in the Trump era.

I think there was a genuine love for humanity on the show that I think is lacking from our leadership right now. I think “The West Wing” inspired us to dream that we could be the best versions of ourselves, individually and as a nation. There's a moral void in our nation right now. You may not believe in all the political alignments that President Bartlet had, but he struggled with decisions, he tried to weigh and hear arguments and balance them out in his mind, and then he'd take time to decide on the best thing to do. He made sure he had people around him who could check his own emotions.

roybelly Ooh, a new Psych movie! Awesome!

And more women. Diversity isn’t just about race.

We are all 'people of color', when you exclude you divide.

Have plenty, only a lot of them are no good

We need diverse channels with ONLY people of brown color. I refuse to watch anything with Italian, Irish, Scottish, Norwegian, French, or Swedish folk in because I know it will just be a lot of Hollywood pandering to the culture for money

I’m a Democratic and a staunch supported of the BLM movement. I’m not supporting this movement to give Dule Hill or other Black Americans a career boost! BLM is going to loose support if 💩 like this keeps up! 🖕🏿

when he was married to “white woman”......Nicole Lyn, it wasn’t such a problem....imagine that....hmmmmmmmm!
