Colman Domingo’s mother is Edith Bowles and she passed away in 2006. He has once opened up about his mother being very supportive of his passion for acting. During Colman’s interview with People, the actor revealed that his mother Edith Bowles used to watch The Oprah Winfrey Show religiously. Not only that, she used to write letters to Winfrey to help her son with work when he was struggling.

Domingo said, “I was a very disgruntled unemployed actor working off-off-Broadway and bartending. And my mother said, ‘Well, you know, I wrote Oprah today.’ I said, ‘Why?’ She said, ‘Well, because I think she could help you.’”

Reacting to what his mother said, a perplexed Domingo revealed, “I said, ‘Help me do what?’ She said, ‘She just needs to see you and know you and know how fabulous and fantastic of an actor and writer you are, and get you on the show.”

Colman added, “I'm like, ‘Mom, Oprah does not care about me. What are you talking about?’ And she said, ‘Oh, come on. You've got to play the game to win.’ And I thought, ‘Okay, whatever.” According to Oprah Winfrey, never received those letters amongst the thousands of others at the time. However, she revealed that she received the message. Domingo, who did not believe Winfrey cared about him, worked with the talk show host briefly in 2014 on a historical drama titled, Selma.
