Tomorrow is a new day where cynicism is for cowards, and men of virtue and agency will be true heroes to their sons,&quot; he said. &quot;Many in my generation know cowardice well, but not the youth, and not the women. And never the Haitians. This is an extraordinary honour in an extraordinary moment on Earth. I&#39;m very grateful,&quot; the actor added.
