Cuba Gooding, JR attended the red carpet premiere of his new movie “Firelight,” premiering Sunday at 9pm ET/PT on ABC this week.
The Academy Award winner stars as a counselor in a women’s correctional facility who helps the girls there redeem themselves. The Hallmark Hall of Fame movie was directed by Darnell Martin and written by Ligiah Villalobos.
Gooding plays Dwayne Johnson (D.J.), a counselor at a women’s correctional center who dedicates his professional life to helping young people reclaim their own self-respect through selfless service to others. D.J. encourages the women to join an elite team that fights forest fires and assists civilian victims of natural disasters.
Gooding talked to Spotlight-On-Entertainment on the red carpet and shared his thoughts about the movie and what he was working on next.
