Moonlight won the 74th Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture-Drama and received five other nominations for the Globe Awards. It also won an Academy Award for Best Picture at the 89th ceremony alongside other awards for its various actors and contributors.
Decile is passionate about poetry since his freshman year in high school. The following year, a teacher persuaded the young man to join the school’s drama program and that is when he first got into acting. He went to college at Florida Memorial University where he also joined the drama class.
One day, their teacher informed them that there would be a number of guests that day, among them was Barry Jenkins, the film director of Moonlight. Unknowingly, the class auditioned for the movie and Decile received a call back afterward.
