Leslie Odom Jr. is a GRAMMY and Tony award-winner but it was his work in the Nationwide commercials that landed him his role as Sam Cooke in 'One Night In Miami.'

Marking his eighth consecutive year as host, Anthony Anderson is an Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated actor and currently the star and Executive Producer of ABC’s multi-award winning sitcom, “black-ish.”

BroadwayWorld had the opportunity to speak to Ashworth about his experience working with Odom to create the song for Regina King's film adaptation of Kemp Powers' play. Both songwriters feel that “Speak Now” is as timely and culturally relevant in 2021 as it was in 1964 – the year that the meeting between Cassius Clay, Jim Brown, Sam Cooke, and Malcolm X took place.

The characters in “One Night in Miami” discuss using their fame and their voices to make a difference, something King tells Miller, co-host of CBS THIS MORNING: Saturday, that she thought a lot about after the killing of George Floyd. So much so, she wanted to get the film out as quickly as possible.

From producers Brian Grazer and Justin Wilkes, along with Fuqua, the film debuts WEDNESDAY, MARCH 24 (9:00-10:30 p.m. ET/PT) on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max.

The new film 'One Night In Miami' is about an imagined night out on the town shared by Muhammad Ali, Malcolm X, Sam Cooke, and Jim Brown.
