As reported, the Chris Rock film Finally Famous, started filming today in New York and we got a few surprises this morning; looks like they hired several new actors to the roster.
Its being reported that Kevin Hart, J.B. Smoove and Sherri Shepherd have joined the cast of the movie, which Scott Rudin is producing Rock is directing.
Rock plays a comedian turned film star who, despite the expectations of his millions of fans, is determined to reinvent himself as a “serious” actor and Rosario Dawson and Gabrielle Union co-star.
Hart is set play Rock’s supportive Ivy League-educated agent; Smoove will play Rock’s “security guard-slash-assistant” who is never far from his boss’ side (in the casting breakdown the character is described as: “a burly, very big and imposing African American guy who has a thing for big women”); and Shepherd will play Rock’s ex-girlfriend from high school who still has a thing for him.
