Four new actors will get in the ring with Prime Video’s The Greatest, an original series exploring the life, legacy, and unparalleled career of Muhammad Ali. As production gets going in Toronto, Ontario, the talented Rosy Cordero of Deadline has unveiled the names of four actors who have been added to the show in recurring roles.
Making his way into the ring for his big fight, Giovanni Ribisi of Boiler Room and Avatar fame will join the series. Ribisi is followed by Brooklyn’s own Reno Wilson and Canadian actor Aleks Paunovic. Rounding out the latest slate of cast additions is Erica Tazel, who previously played the role of Ella Baker in Genius.
Ribisi, Wilson, Paunovic, and Tazel join Jaalen Best, who will play the leading role of Muhammad Ali. Best previously played the role of Ryan Craig in All American: Homecoming. Also, Omari Hardwick of the Power universe will play Cassius Clay Sr., and Dana Gourrier will portray Odessa “Bird” Clay on the small screen.
