"Thurgood is the remarkable and triumphant story of Thurgood Marshall, who rose from a childhood in the backstreets of Baltimore to the Supreme Court of the United States. Along the way, Mr. Marshall overcame many adversities but through them all, remained focused and positive to maintain the great country he wanted to serve. And did. Thurgood brings to the stage the words, the wit, the tenacity and the wisdom of one of American's greatest heroes," explain press notes.Perhaps most recognized for his stirring role in the box-office hit movie trilogy – The Matrix – actor, producer and director, Laurence Fishburne also recently starred in Lionsgate's Akeelah & the Bee, which he produced through his Cinema Gypsy productions. He later co-starred opposite Tom Cruise and Phillip Seymour Hoffman in Paramount's summer film Mission Impossible 3.
