How Actors Master Dual Roles?

It's Sunday morning on CBS, and here again is Lee Cowan.

With credits like Black Panther and the Creed trilogy, Michael B. Jordan has starred in some of the biggest hits of the past decade. His famous name rings out in Hollywood and globally. Here's our Sunday profile with Tracy Smith.

It's not much of a stretch to say that Michael B. Jordan has fought his way to the top. His performances are often game-changing, as a boxing champ, a Marvel superhero, or a Marvel villain. But his latest film required a different kind of superpower.

In Ryan Coogler's Sinners, Jordan plays twin brothers, Stack and Smoke, who open a backwoods honky-tonk in the segregated South. When Ryan Coogler shared this idea of playing two different parts, Jordan's initial reaction was a mix of anxiety and excitement.

Sinners is a horror film, but it's also about history and the power of family ties. To play characters from the Jim Crow South, Jordan drew from his own family history. Relatives on his mother's side hail from Hope, Arkansas, but years ago moved to a segregated black neighborhood in Los Angeles called Oakwood, now part of Venice Beach.

The First Baptist Church of Venice was the center of their community, a safe haven for prayer and refuge. Jordan, who moved to New Jersey as a toddler, never attended this church but feels a connection to his family's past. He reflects on the weight of history in such places. Growing up in a spiritual family, shooting Sinners made him think more about his own family history, re-framing his strong connection to it.

His own history is remarkable. His father is a U.S. Marine veteran, and his mother is a former high school counselor. Michael Bakari Jordan, on the left in childhood photos, was a child model and star. He was still in high school when cast in the landmark series The Wire and later in Friday Night Lights. With no family background in acting, he saw no turning back after moving to California to pursue it full-time.

His film breakout came in 2013 with Ryan Coogler's drama Fruitvale Station. Jordan worked with Coogler again for 2015's Creed, a Rocky spin-off, where he transformed his body and learned boxing, a skill he continues today.

This character stuck with him, as did his role as Erik Killmonger, the villain in Black Panther, who tried to dethrone the hero played by the late Chadwick Boseman. Shaking off this role was hard, leading Jordan to therapy to decompress and sparking a broader conversation on mental health, especially for men. He is proud of this step, which helped him become a better communicator and well-rounded person.

Now 38, Jordan values his strong relationship with his parents, living with them well after he could afford to move out, creating funny and great stories. He bought them a house in the LA suburbs, fulfilling a childhood dream to retire his parents.

Sinners is now in Oscar conversation for both the film and Jordan's performance.

Growing up, the name Michael Jordan caused teasing, making him consider changing his name to Bakari, his middle name. This experience fueled his competitiveness and desire to build his own identity. He believes it shaped who he is today. With Bakari meaning "noble promise," Jordan feels he is walking in that promise, with much more to achieve, just getting started.
