V-103’s Miss Sophia In New Tyler Perry Film
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
In a minute, Atlanta entertainment mogul Tyler Perry might as well just set up a camera in V-103’s Colony Square studios.
First Perry had the top-rated station’s morning co-announcers — Frank Ski and Wanda Smith — in his most recent blockbuster, “Madea Goes To Jail.” Now, their show’s entertainment reporter - Miss Sophia - has announced that “she” will be in his latest stage play-turned-movie, “I Can Do Bad All By Myself.”
“Of course I’m excited,” the “Girl Talk” reporter said shortly after telling listeners about her movie debut, this morning. “But I’m more excited for the fans of Miss Sophia who’ve come up to me for a long time and said me and Tyler need to do something together…Well now it’s finally happening.”
Miss Sophia (pictured above, right, with Smith) has been cast as an emcee in a club, and said she is scheduled to start filming her part in the local production in late April. Oscar nominee Taraji P. Henson, “Stomp The Yard’s” Brian White, “CSI: Miami’s” Adam Rodriguez, R&B singers Gladys Knight and Mary J. Blige and gospel singer and pastor Marvin Winans are also in “I Can Do Bad All By Myself.”
Along with — Ski added on the air — his wife Tanya (pictured with him above) and their sons.
Did you catch Ski and Smith in “Madea Goes To Jail”? Are you one of those fans who’ve wanted to see Miss Sophia on the wide screen?
