TARAJI (& CED) 'TALK' ABOUT NEW FILM: Actors discuss their roles in 'Talk to Me.'

Eurweb.com - Los Angeles, CA, USA - A new film hitting theaters this weekend in New York and LA is sure to give folks something to talk about. The movie, “Talk to Me,” opening nationwide on August 3, features and all-star cast, including Don Cheadle, Mike Epps, Martin Sheen, Vondie Curtis Hall, Taraji Henson, and Cedric the Entertainer.

“Talk to Me” chronicles the story of Washington D.C. radio personality Ralph "Petey" Greene (played by Cheadle), an ex-con who became a popular talk show host and community activist in the 1960s and takes a dramatic look at community radio at a very volatile time in American history.

Henson, who has a long resume of film and television, made her biggest mark in the 2005 Oscar-nominated film “Hustle & Flow” and once again gives a stellar performance in the film as the fictional Vernell Watson, Greene’s girlfriend.

“She’s a composite character, just a combination of many strong women that he had in his life,” Henson said of her character. “[But] she was so well written.”
