‘Godfather of Harlem’ Adds Rome Flynn to Cast

Godfather of Harlem

The MGM+ popular series “Godfather of Harlem” has added Emmy award-winning actor and “The Bold and Beautiful” alum Rome Flynn as a recurring guest star for the upcoming fourth season. Flynn will portray Frank Lucas; a country boy from North Carolina who ventured to Harlem and, after initial friction with gangster Bumpy Johnson, eventually rose to become Bumpy’s fierce defender and right-hand man. Denzel Washington played the character in the movie “American Gangster.” In “Godfather of Harlem,” Lucas’s story begins ten years earlier than in the film.

Season 4 of “Godfather of Harlem” will also see the return of Ilfenesh Hadera, Lucy Fry, Antoinette Crowe-Legacy, and Erik LaRay Harvey, among others. Bumpy Johnson (Whitaker) continues his bloody war for control of Harlem against New York’s Mafia families, while contending with the emergence of a potential rival in newly arrived Black gangster Frank Lucas (Flynn). After Malcolm X’s (Jason Alan Carvell) tragic death, Bumpy must also grapple with his daughter Elise’s (Antoinette Crowe-Legacy) involvement with the Black Panthers.

The first three seasons are available to stream on MGM+.
