1. This clip is from Trai Byers who portrays "Andre" on t.v. show EMPIRE

It is not realistic, but I am glad to see a good (fleshed out and mostly "normal")
character on T.V. living with bipolar.

That was interesting Mari. Nice to see some at least a little more rounded bipolar character on TV. Thanks.
