Friday Morning Man: Morris Chestnut!

When I saw the strikingly handsome Morris Chestnut sitting on the stage at last week’s Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour event, my first thought was, “WHO is that?”

He’s one of the stars of ABC’s new sci-fi series V which premieres in November.

Morris is 40 and it looks like this will be his first series in more than a decade. He’s been doing films including this year’s Not Easily Broken as well as The Perfect Holiday, Ladder 49, Breakin’ All the Rules, and The Game Plan, among others. But he is probably best known for his roles as a teenaged father in Boyz from the Hood and as the groom-to-be in The Best Man.

Morris will be a welcome addition to our living rooms each week!
