Poet and actress Dominique Fishback has been making moves since her debut role in Project Power and recently in Judas and the Black Messiah where she worked alongside Daniel Kaluuya and has received a BAFTA nomination for her work in the movie. 

Fishback is now joining Samuel L. Jackson to co-star in ‘The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey,’ the six episode series produced by Apple Studios for Apple TV+.

The series is based on Walter Mosley’s best-selling novel of ‘The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey.’ Mosley will write and executive produce the limited series. Ramin Bahrani will be directing and executive producing the series while Jackson will be included as executive producer too. 

The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey follows Ptolemy Grey, who is played by Jackson, a 91-year-old with dementia who is fearful of letting anyone into his life after the shooting of his grand-nephew. That is, until he meets Robyn (Fishback), his niece’s 17-year-old lodger. Robyn is willing to take care of Ptolemy, but she’s not letting him fade without a fight and the two begin a journey that leads to Ptolemy taking an experimental drug which confirms he won’t see 92 but will live out his days in clarity and understanding.⁠

Dominique Fishback is attached to some dope projects and co-stars. We love to see her thriving.
