“One of my favorite memories was one of many moments during improv where I had to be in a scene in the strip club with the magnificent Bryan Tyree, aka Paperboy, and his facial expressions to what Darius was doing was so hilarious, I genuinely broke,” said Atlanta cast member, LaKieth Stanfield on Instagram.
“Up to that point in my career, I’ve never been broken in a scene. I love y’all. That and meeting Teddy Perkins. Happy 10 years, Atlanta,” he added.
