Morris Chestnut has appeared in a number of box office hits throughout his career, but his most recent film, When the Bough Breaks, is a fascinating change for him, as he is also an executive producer in the movie. In an interview with Screenrant, Chestnut discussed his dual role, explaining, "I?ve executive produced before but I was really excited about this one because I read the script. I just loved the script. The scale of this movie is bigger than any other movie I?ve being involved with before. I loved the script and the scale." When also asked about the metal aspect of producing, Chesnut said, "It was mentally challenging because there?s so many different dynamics. In a lot of things I?m reacting to a lot of things. I?m reacting to a lot people around me."
