A Conversation With Dorian Missick On His Role In ABC’s For Life [Exclusive Interview]

For Life

ABC’s For Life is an inspiring tale about a man that refused to give up. The series is inspired by the life of Isaac Wright Jr.. who in jail became a lawyer to overturn his own life sentence for a crime that he didn’t commit. Defying all odds he was able to regain his freedom and is now aspiring to run for Mayor of New York City. The fictional serialized legal and family drama executive produced by 50 Cent.

Representing Wright’s character in the series is Nicholas Pinnock’s, Aaron Wallace. In the series, we see him working every angle to try and overturn his case. Despite the fact that the system is obviously against him. Lucky for him he has an ally in Jamal Bishop, played by Dorian Missick. Jamal helps Aaron practice his cases before heading into the courtroom. It seems like he is the only friend he has on the inside.
