Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Rob Morgan filmed this between Marvel projects—his range from Shield agent to shattered addict proves he's one of Hollywood's most underutilized treasures.
The film quietly subverts the 'Magical Negro' trope by making the pastor deeply flawed and the caregiving relationship mutually transformative rather than one-sided salvation.
