Colman Domingo, best known for his performances in “Rustin”, “Euphoria”, and “Sing Sing” is taking his next role on in the upcoming thriller “The Madness“. Colman stars as Munice Daniels who is “a media pundit that must clear his name after he stumbles upon a murder deep in the Poconos woods. To survive, he must reconnect with his estranged family and lost ideals.”
Colman had an exclusive interview with Netflix’s Tdum before the series premieres next month. He said that “Everything about this conspiracy thriller excited me. It was a unique protagonist, one that I had never seen or experienced. Someone who has very centrist beliefs, and now they’re being thrust into the world to really hard-core believe in something and to reexamine the people that they believed were possible enemies. You realize you have more in common with them than you thought you had in the beginning. I think it says a lot about who we are now and what we’re willing to do, and also to look at who’s really pulling the strings and for whose benefit.”
While Colman Domingo is undoubtedly the star of the show, “The Madness” is packed with a lineup of accomplished actors. Emmy nominee Marsha Stephanie Blake stars alongside Domingo. Gabrielle Graham, John Ortiz, Tamsin Topolski, and TJ Mixson are also joining the ensemble.
Deon Cole, Hamish Allan-Headley, Ennis Esmer, Alison Wright, Bradley Whitford, and Stephen McKinley Henderson are all set to make appearances. It’s like a who’s who of Hollywood decided to crash this political thriller party!
