Hart recently opened up toEntertainment Weeklyabout taking on the dramatic role, telling the outlet, “It’s a thriller; it’s like you’ve never seen me before.”
Hart continued, “But ultimately it’s a question of, how far would you go to protect the things you’ve worked hardest for? Where would you go to make sure those things remain yours and are never taken from you? I can say just vaguely, because I don’t want to say too much, when life throws certain obstacles and challenges at you, sometimes you don’t even know what you’re capable of.”
True Storypremieres Nov. 24 on Netflix.
