The American crime drama Godfather of Harlem returns tomorrow to MGM Plus. The series stars Forest Whitaker as Bumpy Johnson, a 1960s New York City gangster who returns from ten years in prison to find his neighborhood in shambles and must fight for control of Harlem against the mafia families of New York.

Rome Flynn, who joins the cast as a new gangster, Frank Lucas, comes in as someone new for Bumpy Johnson (Forest Whitaker) and Joe Colombo (Michael Raymond James) to contend with in the fourth season. Like Bumpy and Joe, Lucas was a real-life gangster who later became a famous kingpin. This season, Lucas is just starting out in the "big time" and grappling with who he is and what it might cost him to continue in his life of crime.

Flynn started out in his acting career playing Zende in the CBS daytime soaps The Bold and the Beautiful for two years, for which he won a Daytime Emmy Award.  He went on from there to various featured roles in ABC's How to Get Away with Murder, OWN's The Haves and the Have Nots, NBC's Chicago Fire and Netflix's Raising Dion.

Recently, SciFi Vision spoke with Flynn about joining the cast of Godfather of Harlem, what his preparation was like for the role, and more.
