Trojan On The Move: Rob Morgan
|
|
VSU alum and actor Rob
Morgan has been in a lot of big movies and TV shows over the past decade, but his role in "Just
Mercy" could be the most important.
The actor's character is a man named Herbert Richardson, a man who was given the death penalty after he was charged with capital murder. The new Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Foxx movie was one of the most powerful films of 2019 and it is based off the book from the founder of the Equal Justice Initiative Bryan Stevenson.
Playing an inmate on death row was one of the biggest challenges of Morgan's career.
"To use my artist and my vision and my voice and talents to work with a director like Destin Daniel Cretton and phenomenal co-stars like Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Foxx, Brie Larson, and Tim Blake Nelson was a no-brainer," said Morgan in an interview with CBS Local's DJ Sixsmith. "When I read Herbert in the script, I felt the beautiful responsibility of being the guy to position this character in America's living room. I wanted to give voice to this character, so it could be right in our faces and we can ask ourselves if anyone is worth that kind of punishment. It's important to give voice to these voiceless characters."
