"Godfather of Harlem"
Actor: Rome Flynn | (Frank Lucas)
Outside of being named MVP of the 2025 NBA All Star Celebrity Game, Rome Flynn is a terrific actor.
Rome Flynn, known for his roles in "How to Get Away With Murder" and "With Love," joins the cast of "Godfather of Harlem" for season 4. He portrays the young Frank Lucas, a real-life gangster who becomes the right-hand man of Forest Whitaker's character, Bumpy Johnson. Season 4 delves into Lucas's early years, exploring his arrival in Harlem and his initial interactions with Bumpy Johnson.
While Denzel Washington portrayed Lucas in the film "American Gangster," "Godfather of Harlem" offers a different perspective, focusing on the period before Lucas's rise to prominence. The series, inspired by the life of crime boss Bumpy Johnson, follows his attempts to regain control of Harlem after being released from prison.
