on the show, %u201cis so funny on the page and in real life, he%u2019s one of the funniest people I know.%u201d Utilizing stellar improvisational skills %u201cHe takes the line and honors them, then he quite literally goes off script.%u201d So much so, the writers seem to expect it. With Dwayne setting the standard the cast simply follows. As one of the top grossing American organizations, football is a multi-million dollar machine with legions of passionate fans. The hope with this show is to change those pre-convened ideas, and there are many, about the human component behind the game. %u201cI think our show does a good job of showing four distinct ways that football players live, on and off the field.%u201d John David Washington, plays the always flashy, Ricky Jerret, which you come to expect from football players. There is Donovan Carter who plays the young and foolhardy player who is out of his depth when it comes to spending $12 million. Omar Miller embodies Charles Greane, who at thirty years old can no longer play. %u201cOmar%u2019s character is interesting because he is struggling to figure out his way in life and that is something everyone can relate to.%u201d Expertly written in his voice, you have Dwayne%u2019s character. %u201cIt%u2019s good to see that these athletes can go on to have other careers.%u201d Hopefully our show will %u201cportray a more human side of these players because at the end of the day that%u2019s all they are.%u201d %u201cFor sixteen Sunday%u2019s these players get to entertain us but for the rest of the year they are just normal people trying to figure out their way and that%u2019s what we are trying convey with a little bit of comedy and little sexiness.%u201dWe asked the actress if she could guest star on any show what would it be and she launches Game ofThrones at us like a grenade she%u2019s been holding for the entire interview. This is a gal versed in her GOT and you do not want to get into a word tussle on matters of the Iron Throne. As it stands she doesn%u2019t feel like the odds are in her favor since %u201cI don%u2019t have a British accent and I%u2019m black.%u201d Her fervor for the award winning show is evident %u201cThere is not one bad actor on that show, from the little ones to the grownups, everyone is rock solid.%u201d Okay MOST readers, you heard it here first, give our girl a story arc on Game of Thrones. So what keeps her grounded, the Lord. %u201cI would say blessed are the meek that everyone should remain humble, know who you are and whose you are.%u201d She continues, %u201cFor me I know that everything I am doing and am capable of doing is bigger than me.%u201d %u201cThere is only so far I can go by myself, which is nowhere.%u201d Although her relationship with the Lord has changed since that young impressionable sixteen-year-old, %u201cHis relationship with me has always been the same.%u201d That chance encounter while shopping for a dress, %u201cHad nothing to do with me but more to do with the path that He intended for me and I am still on that path today.%u201d %u201cKnowing these things keeps me grounded, to know that my steps are already laid out in front of me. I just need to ask him if I%u2019m going in the right direction.%u201d The actress shares a story with us about a flight she was on from Los Angeles to New York. She was reading an article and %u201cI%u2019m paraphrasing, but the article said, you needed to check in with God every day to make sure that you%u2019re on the path or get directions for today, don%u2019t assume that yesterday%u2019s directions are applicable for today.%u201d 28 || MOST FITNESS || APRIL 2016
