Harris, who plays Poppy \u2013 the wife of Ali\u2019s character Cameron \u2013 in Benjamin Cleary\u2019s sci-fi drama Swan Song, told\u00a0RadioTimes.com<\/a> in an exclusive interview that she \u201cabsolutely loved\u201d working with Ali again.<\/p>\n \u201cHe is just such a generous human being and also an incredibly generous performer as well. And that\u2019s all you want when you\u2019re acting opposite someone. You just want somebody who\u2019s going to let all ego go, dive into the moment and just be giving.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a game, right? It\u2019s a game of throwing over something, you give something emotionally to the other person, the other person gives you something emotionally, you take that on board, react to that and then deliver something else.<\/p>\n \u201cYou have to be a team player to be a good actor and Mahershala is like the ultimate team player.\u201d<\/p> The pair previously starred alongside one another in 2016\u2019s Moonlight, for which Ali won his first Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.<\/p>\n In Apple TV+ original film Swan Song, Ali stars as Cameron, a husband, father and artist suffering with a terminal illness who is offered the chance to replace himself with a carbon copy clone.<\/p>\n The film, which is Benjamin Cleary\u2019s feature film directorial debut, boasts a star-studded cast including Fatal Attraction\u2019s Glenn Close, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings<\/a> star Awkwafina and The Power of the Dog<\/a>\u2018s Adam Beach.<\/p>\n Swan Song will arrive on Apple TV+ on Friday 17th December.
