Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know even more about actor James Moses Black. In this episode we chat about what he has been up to since the last time he was on the show. He tells us all about filming the comedy horror film Renfield with Nicolas Cage, Nicholas Hoult, Awkwafina, and James Moses Black. We talk about shooting in New Orleans, and working with some of these fine actors. Then we get into a recent cruise James took, and some upcoming projects he is working on. James tells me about an upcoming short film called POV: An Unforgettable Night; which is the true story of Nat King Cole being attacked on stage by a white hooded fiend! And then we talk some more about the film James is trying to get made called 55. I love the story of 55 and am looking forward to seeing this project come to life!
