Lance Gross Video Interview OUR FAMILY WEDDING.jpg

Opening this Friday is writer/director Rick Famuyiwa's Our Family Wedding.  The film stars Forest Whitaker, America Ferrera, Carlos Mencia, Regina King, Lance Gross, Anjelah Johnson, Diane-Maria Riva, and Lupe Ontiveros. The premise is a young couple (America Ferrera and Lance Gross) get back to Los Angeles to tell their families they're getting married.  Unfortunately, neither family is on board with this plan, and each person has their own opinion on marriage and relationships.

To help promote the film, I recently spoke to one of the stars of the film, Lance Gross.  We talked about making Our Family Weedding, doing publicity, filming in L.A., working with Charlie Murphy, Taye Diggs and Forest Whitaker, and his career.  Hit the jump to check it out:
