Asante Blackk Joins "This Is Us"
"This Is Us" Adds Asante Blackk as Series Regular for Season 4 (Exclusive)
by Jean Bentley Oct. 7, 2019 The fourth season premiere of "This Is Us" introduced three major new characters, and one will play an even bigger role than previously thought: Asante Blackk, who plays Philadelphia high schooler Malik, will be a series regular for the NBC show's fourth season, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. Blackk's character met Deja (Lyric Ross), the adoptive daughter of Randall (Sterling K. Brown) and Beth (Susan Kelechi Watson), in the season premiere while at a barbecue before the new school year (the family's first in their new Philly home). "My character, Malik, is a great young man. He's connected to the Pearsons in a very, very [key way]. He gets close to them as as the season goes along," Blackk told THR at the 2019 Emmy Performers Nominee reception in September. "I've been greeted with open arms by the cast. They're all amazing, and it's great to have such a such a great show and have such great writing." https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/li...ason-4-1245784 |
