Nia Long recently walked off a set for the first time in her 36-year career. “It broke my heart to have to do it because that’s not who I am, but I knew that I needed to do it because it didn’t feel good in my belly,” she tells me from across a booth at Culina, where we’re having lunch inside the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills.

Quitting a job in the middle of production may not be characteristic of the consummate professional that Long, 52, is known to be, but it reflects the woman she says she’s becoming. Having made a name for herself playing memorable leading roles in Black movies and sitcoms — she’s perhaps most famous for her role in the influential Best Man franchise, as well as Nina to Larenz Tate’s Darius in the iconic romance Love Jones,...

Over twenty years after The Best Man debuted in theaters, Harper Stewart (Taye Diggs), Jordan Armstrong (Nia Long), Lance Sullivan (Morris Chestnut), Julian Murchison (Harold Perrineau), Quentin Spivey (Terrence Howard), Robyn (Sanaa Lathan), and Shelby (Melissa De Sousa) have all returned for The Best Man: The Final Chapters, a limited-series that catches up with the beloved friend group as “relationships evolve and past grievances resurface in the unpredictable stages of midlife crisis meets midlife renaissance.” Peacock has released the full trailer for The Best Man: The Final Chapters, which you can check out above.

Vincent Irizarry is on his way to “The Bold and the Beautiful” to play Dr. Jordan Armstrong starting on Monday, August 26. The daytime veteran explained to TV Insider, “This was at the request of Brad Bell [executive producer/head writer].

After that character was killed off he spent a couple of years on “Santa Barbara” before returning to “Gl” as Lujack’s twin brother Nick from 1991 to 1996.
