So we caught up with Orlando Jones to tell us about his latest project Madiba, a mini-series only on BET which premiered on February 1st and is a passionate portrayal of Nelson Mandela's life. Orlando plays Oliver Tambo, one of Nelson Mandela's best friends and allie in the fight against apartheid.
Filmed exclusively in South Africa and Robin Island, Orlando tells us about the pressure to make sure everything, even his accent, sounds and feels authentic. Well, especially since the cast is about 90% South African.
Also Check out the Preview for Madiba that I'm sure will have your blood rushing.
You can catch Madiba Wednesdays at 8pm/7c on BET.
