We caught up with the veteran actor to discuss his unapologetically Black character Ri’Chard Lane in “The Good Fight”. Per TV Line, Ri’Chard is “a showman lawyer and rainmaker who is forced on Liz (Audra McDonald) as a new name partner.”
Per the outlet: Ri’Chard is “a wild mix of brilliance, geniality, religion and joyful hedonism. In short, he’s a handful.”
