'This story is something that is personal and close to my heart myself. I filmed a scene where Keegan got arrested for something he hadn't done because he fitted the description.
'I was driving home and I was pulled over by police, same day. And they said, "Well this is a nice car." There were two cars in front of me and they drove off and his excuse was that he thought I was part of a convoy and my car was stolen.
'That just goes to show it's a reflection of real life. This stuff is still going on. It's a massive eye opener for everyone'.

'These are conversations that are still being held in black households. I've had them a few times and you almost become accustomed to it.
'It's just a part of being a black person. But now more than ever, we can't just forget it and say it's OK - because it's not OK'.
'He has the implications of being a black man in a modern-day society which I can personally relate with, which is something I'm glad EastEnders has touched upon.
'You do still get the spurts of anger and frustration but there's more justification for it now. He's definitely a complex and interesting character'.
