Video: Colman Domingo Recalls Becoming an Ordained Minister and Marrying Couples During Broadway's HAIR

Acting, singing, dancing- Colman Domingo can do it all. But, in addition to his talent as a performer, the Tony nominee is also an ordained minister with several weddings under his belt.

During a recent visit to The Kelly Clarkson Show, Domingo recalled his decision to be ordained in 2011 after same-sex marriages were legalized in New York. His first marriages were officiated at the St. James Theatre during the Broadway production of Hair.

"I took a long walk, and I thought, 'This would be really beautiful to bring people together in our community...' So I became ordained. I married the first couples on Broadway. And then I also married my dear friends Anika Noni Rose and her husband, Jason."

In the years since, he has also married several other friends and members of his family, including Nona Hendryx, Niecy Nash, and his brother. Watch his conversation with Clarkson, where he also shares how he takes time to slow down and reflect amid his busy schedule.
