We recently caught up with actor Shannon Wallace, who plays Private Nate Barker on BET’s American Soul to talk working with legends Victoria Rowell, Richard Brooks and Kelly Price. We also talked about his life as a model and what he loves most about the grooviest time period ever, the 1970’s.
The Cast of American Soul talks about the new BET series, which follows the untold perspective of the iconic 35-year running show, Soul Train and its creator Don Cornelius. With narratives about launching the first nationally syndicated Black music show, the fight to win the best talent, and in the heat of the black American experience in the 70s, the show highlights the need for a show created by black people, for black people.
