– It’s been ten years since actor Jamal Mixon made the character Ernie Jr. and the phrase “Herculeez, Herculeez” famous and unforgettable in the film The Nutty Professor starring Eddie Murphy. And now he is back in a new and suprising role that will leave the audience remembering him for another ten years. Mixon stars in the role of Evans, a teenage felon serving time in juvenile; in the new Sony Pictures film “Gridiron Gang” starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Rapper Xzibit.
The film tells the inspiring true story of a juvenile detention camp probation officer Sean Porter (The Rock) who creates a high school level football team from a group of hardcore teenage criminal inmates as a means to teach them self-respect, social responsibility and positive leadership. Through a series of trials and challenges, the teammates are confronted with gang rivalries and bitter hatred but with the guidance and help of Porter and his management team including Evans (Mixon), they realize their lives are not as hopeless and desperate as they thought and reach the first of many accomplishments that they have only dared to dream including a chance to play in the regional championship.
This is the first major serious and dramatic role for Mixon whom has played comedy roles since the beginning of his acting career in 1996 as Herculeez in The Nutty Professor and other films including The Cookout, House Party, and Bulworth. Mixon says “This was a challenging role for me since I come from a comedy background, but I have been waiting for an opportunity like this one for years, and I only hope this proves my ability to be able to crossover into serious roles as did Jamie Foxx and Jim Carrey.” Mixon also stated that he is honored that Sony Pictures gave him the opportunity to showcase his other acting side in a film that is awe-inspiring, powerful, and emotional, a rare opportunity for comedy actors especially oversized comedic actors, but that’s a whole other story!
