In this new season premiere episode, Hilliard and guest co-host (actor/filmmaker) Shawn Carter Peterson sat down with JOHNNY RAY GILL - a critically acclaimed actor, filmmaker, rapper, poet and activist. He just finished filming seasons one and two of "CROSS" created by Ben Watkins, Amazon Prime's new psychological thriller based on the best-selling book series Alex Cross by James Patterson. Gill stars opposite Aldis Hodge and Ryan Eggold as Bobby Trey, a deadly, cunning ex-DC police officer from Shreveport who’s motived by money and the reclaiming of his family’s land, stolen by a racist predatory US government. Up next, Johnny Ray will be seen in cat form, in Oscar winner Gore Verbinski’s highly anticipated new animated feature "Cattywumpus." It’s purrrhaps Gill’s most hysterical transformation yet.

This dynamic, versatile, potent performer might be best known for his soul-stirring performance as Kerwin, opposite Aden Young in the Ray Mckinnon, Mark Johnson, Melissa Bernstein Sundance series "Rectify." A darling amongst critics, exemplified by reviews like The New Yorker “A Quiet Marvel” and Vulture “There May Never Be a Show Like Rectify Again.”

Gill’s also fondly remembered for warming audience’s hearts with his portrayal of Sam, an autistic man trapped in the bowels of slavery, America’s greatest sin, on WGN’s hit series "Underground" alongside Jurnee Smollett and Aldis Hodge.

Another don't miss episode y'all!

In this episode Hilliard and guest co-host (writer/professor) MICHELLE AMOR sit down with super talented writer/filmmaker PERES OWINO, Nominated this year for a Creative Arts Emmy, she co-wrote Netflix’s “African Queens – Njinga,” which was nominated for more Daytime/Creative Arts Emmys than any other program. It was also nominated for a Buzzie Award from the World Congress of Science & Factual Producers. Owino also co-wrote the subsequent Netflix global hit, “Queen Cleopatra” nominated for the 2023 National Film Awards.

We talk about being a writer who writes strong, historical characters (with a bit of dramedy) from the African Diaspora, the trials and tribulations of working in Hollywood, finding a lane for yourself, picking a side, the agent will find you, an act of courage, trailer moments, everything has its own timeline, and so much more!

Our Motto: "We keep it GAME all day!"
