Ving Rhames Set To Star in BET+ Mob Limited Series LEGACY
Ving Rhames is set to lead a new three-episode crime series titled Legacy for BET+. It seems like it’s been a while since I’ve seen Rhames in a film or TV project, the last time I remember seeing him was in Mission: Impossible - Fallout back in 2018, but he has done a couple of things since then. Legacy seems like his first lead role project in a long time.
Rhames will take on the role of Guy Simmons, “a notorious mobster and patriarch of the Simmons family, the ruling crime family in the southern underworld. Simmons owns the streets, but as he fights for his life, a sibling rivalry ignites that could jeopardize his legacy and criminal enterprise.”
It’s also explained, “Simmons has created a legacy he wants to pass on to his two sons, Kevin and Tysean. However, his womanizing ways have spilled over and jeopardizes all he’s worked for. The mothers of his sons hate each other. Like mother like son. Guy’s shooting has ignited a new brotherly beef; a beef that could have deadly repercussions, especially when you have a family where the enemy may lie within.”
Legacy was created by Manny Halley, who also wrote the series with Yolanda Halley, and they also serve as producers along with Rodney Turner and Denee Busby Howard. The series also stars AJ Johnson, Lisa Raye and Clifton Powell also star.
The series will begin streaming March 2nd on BET+.
