This week on Our World with Black Enterprise, host Marc Lamont Hill sits down with Hollywood actor Blair Underwood. With a career spanning a quarter century, including his early starring role as Russell Walker (a character based on hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons) in 1985’s Krush Groove, Underwood built a critically acclaimed body of work while remaining one of America’s favorite actors. Underwood talks with Hill about his latest star turn as U.S. President Elias Martinez in NBC’s hit series The Event and what it means to be a veteran Black male actor in Hollywood.
