In an upcoming exclusive interview with Screen Rant, David Ajala was asked what his lasting impression is of playing Cleveland Booker opposite Sonequa Martin-Green's Michael Burnham for 3 seasons of Star Trek: Discovery. Ajala related what Martin-Green told him when he was cast as Cleveland Booker. Check out David's quote below:

When Sonequa reached out to me, [and] I knew that I was joining the show or I had been cast, she said, ‘Welcome to this wonderful world where everyone supports each other, where we're so excited to be on set, where we literally believe that we have lightning in a bottle.’ I believe that their relationship is lightning in a bottle, but it's lightning that feels, dare I say it, safe. It's exciting, and it feels safe. I think these two will always be in each other's lives. I think they bring out the best in each other. And behind every great woman is herself.
