Akili McDowell has wowed fans on OWN with the new series and the fact he’s only 16 makes it even more incredible. Chatting with Kandi Eastman inside the Houston BMW Studios, McDowell details what led him to the role, how long he’s been acting, his first big break, working with the likes of fellow Houston heavyweights such as Phylicia Rashad, how she helped him memorize lines and more!
