Stars of the TV Series 'Johnson'

Thomas Q. Jones, Actor; Former NFL RB and Deji LaRay, Actor; Creator, Series Co-Writer & Co-Lead

The show revolves around four lifelong friends living in Atlanta, all sharing the same last name (Johnson). The plot centers on what happens when after 25 years of friendship the foursome finds themselves in vastly different places in their lives and it begins to threaten the unity that has always been so strong between them. The genesis behind the show was that Thomas, Deji, and their friends were not seeing anything on TV that represented them. They were seeing a lot of stereotypical programs and at the same time were being cast in very stereotypical roles, so they created something that was representative of them and their community. Discusses how the duo came together and put the series together. The work ethic and dedication are matched by both men. They have worked on multiple projects over the years since they paired up. It's important to portray black men properly in the series and to control the narrative. Thomas discusses how his football career and his acting career are similar. The guys give us a preview of what to expect as season 2 premieres this week.
