Chubb Rock and SiMan Baby Interviewed Tyler….  Check it out!

 

TYLER LEPLEY (CHARACTER BIO “Benny”):

Tyler Lepley plays dutiful son, Benny Young, whose mother Hanna works for the wealthy Cryer family.

Last season, Benny spent a major part of the season in a coma. He was the victim of a hit and run by Wyatt Cryer (son of wealthy candidate for Governor, Jim Cryer).

Benny loves his sister Candace (played by Tika Sumpter), but Candace is no angel and is in the process of seeking revenge by having Jim Cryer kidnapped. Candace is the opposite of Benny.

This season finds Benny trying to protect his family…but also straying from the role of perfect son.
