โ€œOne 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,โ€ said Atlanta cast member, LaKieth Stanfield on Instagram.

โ€œUp to that point in my career, Iโ€™ve never been broken in a scene. I love yโ€™all. That and meeting Teddy Perkins. Happy 10 years, Atlanta,โ€ he added.
