Tosin Morohunfola stopped on the red carpet to chat about his role as Levon Rooker,” My character is an actor, so it is not a huge stretch to play him. He experiences what all actors experience, some victories and a lot of rejection! Rejection is hard and it hurts. A big part of coping and succeeding in the business is learning how to handle rejection. This movie and my character tackle that. You will see many ups and downs in this movie.”
When asked about working with George Lopez, Morohunfola said,”I was lucky to work with this legendary comedian and personality. We do some very unique work at the beginning of the film. Everybody will want to see it because no one has seen George like this before!” He went on to say that working with Mykelti Williamson was a dream come true and looks at him as a role model.
Morohunfola continues to work on his TV series Run the World on Starz going into season two next month. He will be directing his own feature film later in the year called The Pulpit.
