Like Rashad, Angela Bassett also feels very connected to her \"Soul\" character, Dorothea Williams, a respected jazz musician for whom Joe hopes to work.

\"I think she's relatable. She's relatable to me,\" Bassett said. \"Oftentimes there's someone ... who's doing exactly what we think we want to be doing.\"

\"How many times have I heard, a young actor approach me and say, 'They're looking forward to the day that we can work together,'\" she continued. \"And it's like, 'OK, all right.' And who knows? But it's good to be fueled by that kind of desire.\"

\"Soul,\" also starring Jamie Foxx, is available Christmas Day on Disney+.

Disney is the parent company of ABC News and \"Good Morning America.\"
