Jermaine Fowler
Jermaine Fowler, who executive produces and stars in the CBS comedy, Superior Donuts, joins the cast of the Boots Riley drama film, Sorry to Bother You. He joins the previously-announced cast, led by Lakeith Stanfield and Tessa Thompson. Forest Whitaker is among the film’s producers. The film will chronicle the journey of black telemarketer with self-esteem issues, as he discovers a magical key to business success (making his voice overdubbed by a white actor), propelling him to the upper echelons of the hierarchy just as his activist comrades are rising up against unjust labor practices. When he uncovers the macabre secret of his corporate overlords, he must decide whether to stand up or sell out.
