Aldis joins us to discuss his #1 rated Prime Video program “Cross”, where he plays the legendary character Alex Cross. In addition to his acting career, he introduces us to 9B Collective (co-founded by Aldis Hodge, Mike Uwandi, Phillip Boutte Jr), the groundbreaking Concept Art Studio which has been involved with countless blockbuster film/program projects. These “world builders” have used technology and creative designers to create 3D models for video games or entire environments for live action film and television. 9B Collective served as the visual development studio for DC Comics “Blue Beetle” and brought some of the film’s biggest moments to life.

Whether it’s design for the the use of AR, CGI or Next-Gen design technologies, 9B Collective has played a part in the process, with collective works ranging from Marvel, Epic Games, Skydance Animaton, Wicked, NFL Super Bowl, DC Comics, with concept art for Moonknight, Wakanda Forever, Blade, Mandalorian, Westworld and so many more. Aldis leaves us with what we can expect next from Season 2 of Cross and what is next for himself personally.
