Jordan plays his attorney Bryan Stevenson on the Christmas Day release.played fellow inmate and PTSD sufferer Herbert Richardson. During the Warner Bros panel at today’s The Contenders L.A.
Foxx waxed eloquent about Morgan’s performance and the connection between their two characters. Then he went off on a slightly baffling tangent by adding that Morgan’s aroma was key to conjuring the chemistry. “Even his smell was amazing,” Foxx said. The actor laughed as he realized how odd this might sound, then explained that the characters were shot in separate prison cells, so they had to “feel” each other without always being able to see each other, hence the importance of aroma.
Both actors got serious, however, when they discussed the social significance of the film. Morgan said he appreciated “being able to give voice to a voiceless community. [There are] a lot of brothers and sisters on death row, ain’t nobody fighting for them. … It was a beautiful opportunity, and I’m thankful.”
