On television he played Victor Strand in Fear the Walking Dead and recovering addict Ali Muhammad in HBO's Euphoria, which won him a Primetime Emmy Award in 2022.

How Colman Domingo makes his money
Domingo's success came after many years of stage work, which is respected but rarely makes actors rich. His income grew as he moved into television and film. Long-running roles like Victor Strand on Fear the Walking Dead, which ran from 2015 to 2023, provided steady pay for years.
His film career took off with roles in major projects such as Lincoln, Selma, If Beale Street Could Talk, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom and The Color Purple. Leading roles in Rustin and Sing Sing, both of which earned him Oscar nominations, raised his profile and his fees. He also appears in the film Michael, released in 2026.
He works behind the scenes too. He wrote the book for Summer: The Donna Summer Musical and co-produced Fat Ham, a modern take on Hamlet that was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Play. Writing and producing for the stage can bring royalties long after a show opens.
He also earned two Emmy nominations for his role as an interior decorator in the Netflix comedy The Four Seasons in 2025, showing his range in comedy as well as drama.
