"Trophy Wife" Hilarious New Sitcom

I had a wonderful time shooting the character of Mary/M.E. on the set of Trophy Wife this week for episode one called "It's A Shame". Here is a shot of some of the cast from episode two.

The story follows a couple called the "Castle's" as they like the rest of us, just try to "Keep it together" Six episodes are being shot as we speak. There are many seasoned and well respected  actors and celebrity's making appearances along with fresh and funny new comers.

I had the pleasure of being in episode one. Here I am on the couch with the character Marteen played by Calo Rodriguez, who works for the Castles pictured below.

John and Deena Castle are played by the talented and funny Akeem Smith and Diandra Lyle.



My character Mary/M.E. is hopelessly in love with Marteen and although he doesn't quite feel the same way, she is determined to convince him that he should be with her forever.
The writer/director and mastermind of this sitcom is the ever talented Michael Ajawke Jr. whose credits include "Eve", "Sister, Sister", "Martin", and "Entertianment Tonight" among others. He has earned many awards including an Emmy Award Winning producer for "E's Talk Soup", as well as two NAACP awards.

Here is Michael with one of the many celebrity guest stars on "Trophy Wife" Denise Williams.
Be sure to keep a look out as "Trophy Wife" is about to come to a tv channel near you soon.
