Actress Viola Davis portrayed Aibileen Clark's character in The Help movie and to date, she never hesitated to regret openly about the role given to her. Davis has been blunt about her wrong choices regarding movies and limited access to quality roles.

Davis opened up in an interview with Vanity Fair and discussed the kind of roles she has been offered because of her color. She spoke about "people of color" who made a huge impact on her career. She told the outlet that The Help has been created with systemic racism in mind.

The How to Get Away with Murder actress admitted that everyone enjoyed the movie but a part of her had betrayed the black community and herself because the movie didn't tell the whole truth. It wasn't the first time when the 54-year-old star has truly repentant portraying Aibileen Clark.

During the BAFTA event, Davis revealed that the movie wasn't made from black people's perspective and that's where the problem began. The movie was set in Mississippi, Civil Rights-era in 1960s.

The Academy Award winner explained during Toronto Film Festival in 2018 that characters in The Help such as Minny and Aibileen are not completely fictional and they are like her mother and grandmother. Davis further emphasized on creators to highlight in movies how it feels to bring up kids in 1963 and work under white people.

The Emmy-Award winner revealed why it was important to work on How to Get Away with Murder. After working on The Help in 2011, she wasn't flooded with offers. Davis explained further that it is astonishing when people assume that taking up television wasn't required for her and she could grasp movie roles easily.

The actress told that she often cross-question such people as what movies are they even talking about, and referred to 2018 crime thriller, Widows. However, she clarified that if she became dependent on what Hollywood is offering then there are hardly any roles for her.

It seems Davis loved working with a television production company and her experience was different from movies. The company is called Shondaland which is named after the founder Shonda Rimes. The 50-year-old executive producer and writer had made Davis' experience better.

In an interview with The Los Angeles Times, Davis said that she feels acknowledged and accepted for being true to herself. She also said that her ideas are welcomed and this was a unique experience.
