From WHYY in Philadelphia, this is Fresh Air Weekend. I'm Tanya Moseley. Today actor Yahya Abdul Mateen II. He's nominated for an emmy for his performance in the Marvel series Wonderman. But two weeks after his nomination, Disney announced the series would not return for a second season. But getting laid off.

is how he found acting in the first place. I keep on getting laid off and losing the and losing jobs. What up with that? But you know, every time I do, it turns into something better, you know what I mean? So I I wonder what this one gonna turn into. Also, we'll hear from saxophonist Robbie Coltrane, son of jazz musician John Coltrane. He was two when his father died. And growing up, he was just known as Robbie.

But soon as I picked up the saxophone, suddenly I was John Coltroyd's son. Plus, Ken Tucker reviews a new album by the trio The Womack Sisters, granddaughters of Sam Cook and nieces of Bobby Womack. That's coming up on Fresh Air Weekend. This is Fresh Air Weekend. I'm Tanya Mosley, and my guest today is Yahya Abdul Mateen the second. He's nominated for an Emmy for the Marvel series Wonder Man.
