Walton Goggins and Omar Miller Join Samuel L. Jackson in New Apple Series THE LAST DAYS OF PTOLEMY GREY
Apple is casting up its upcoming new series The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey and that cast includes Walton Goggins (Justified, The Shield), Omar Miller (Ballers, The Unicorn), Marsha Stephanie Blake (I Am Your Woman, When They See Us), Damon Gupton (Black Lightning, Bates Motel), and Cynthia Kaye McWilliams (Coyote, Real Husbands of Hollywood). They will join the previously announced stars Samuel L. Jackson and Dominique Fishback.
The series reunites Goggins and Jackson, who previously worked together in the Quentin Tarantino film The Hateful Eight.
The show is based on the novel of the same name by Walter Mosley. “Jackson stars as Grey, a 91 year old man forgotten by his family, by his friends, by even himself. On the brink of sinking even deeper into a lonely dementia, Grey experiences a seismic shift when he’s given the tremendous opportunity to briefly regain his memories, and uses this precious and fleeting lucidity to solve his nephew’s death and come to terms with his past.”
Goggins is set to play Dr. Rubin, while Blake will play Niecie, the loving mother of Grey’s nephew. Gupton will take on the role of Coydog, Grey’s childhood mentor. McWilliams will play Sensia, Grey’s second wife, and Miller will play Reggie Llyod, Grey’s grand nephew.
The series has a pretty impressive cast. That along with the story should end up making for a great show on Apple TV+.
