Andra Fuller plays "Fish" in Black Jesus, Adult Swim's latest program from Aaron McGruder and Mike Clattenburg, which imagines Jesus having returned to the world by way of modern day Compton. It's an idea that's been enough to draw the ire of Christian groups and religious leaders in the weeks leading up to its premiere. But Andra—who's religious himself—doesn't mind. Who's to say Jesus wouldn't be enjoying the drinks of our time?

Andra is best known from his work in The L.A. Complex, where he played ‘Kaldrick King’, a menacing closeted gay rap superstar, and his YouTube show Roomieloverfriends. He talked with Complex about starring in the show, how dancing to Michael Jackson led him into acting, and what Jesus would be like if he really did come back.
