Characters Welcomed! -- This video is a compilation of clips from television and films, i.e., acting demo reel. Look: Season 1: Episode 1 -- Its night at the mini-mart where Willie, our budding musician, and his slacker pal Carl confront Ron, a mute homeless man who frequents the store for free food. American Violet -- Nicole Beharie (The Express), Will Patton (Entrapment, The Postman), Charles Dutton (TV’s Roc, Mimic) and Alfre Woodard (TV’s Desperate Housewives, Primal Fear) star in this gripping true-life story. Falsely accused of distributing narcotics in a school zone, Dee Roberts (Beharie) is offered a deal she can’t refuse: plead guilty and accept a 10-year suspended sentence. The alternative: risk serving 16- to-25 in jail. Realizing a conviction would ruin her life, Dee decides to fight back. Suing the DA for racial discrimination, Dee battles impossible odds in a case that will not only change her life but the laws of Texas as well.
