British actor Jovan Adepo says he couldn't help but be nervous for his big screen debut in Fences. Adepo co-stars in the movie adaptation of August Wilson's play about a black working class family in 1950s Pittsburgh as Denzel Washington and Viola Davis' son. Adepo says of Washington, "I would have to watch myself because sometimes I would be staring because...that's my hero!"
Adepo holds his own as he goes head-to-head with Washington in scenes that were sometimes physical. Adding of working with Washington and Davis, "I've been spoiled." Fences is in theaters on Christmas day.
