David Oyelowo as Martin Luther King

'Selma' Star talks about long path to becoming Martin Luther King Jr. Portraying Martin Luther King Jr. in Selma has been a 7 year journey for British actor David Oyelowo. The project was directed by Ava DuVernay , who had two small independent films to her name.The Selma script had been on the 2006 blacklist and it was a very highly rated script. When Oyelowo read the script, he described it as deeply spiritual and he felt as if God told him that he is going to play this role.
