Tracy Morgan

 n a long alleyway in Red Hook, Brooklyn, not far from the East River, Tracy Morgan was sitting on a director's stool with his feet suspended high above the ground. The area was filled with a calm swarm of crew members, who poured him a glass of water, fussed over the orange jumpsuit that was his outfit for the day, and also kept him protected from the sun. Morgan is a muscular and slim man who has a large nose and a prominent mouth. However, his eyes are what make him a master of physical comedy. He can control their gaze with amazing skill. At times, he stares upwards and smiles, imitating the innocent look of a young child. At some other times, he puts his chin in his chin and offers a stare that lands about an inch beyond the apparent target of his attention. He was now restless.It was a September scorcher with a cloudless noon and Morgan was working himself into an emotional mess, but a very intense state--jokey, sentimental, triumphant, pissed--in order to film a dramatic scene from the final episode of the second season of his TBS sitcom "The The Last O.G." (Season 2 began airing in April.) Morgan plays Tray Barker, a man who returns to his Brooklyn neighborhood after spending fifteen years in jail for a drug offense.
