‘Accused’: Nick Cannon On Returning To A Dramatic Role To Lead A Story About The Unintended Consequences Of AI


Nick Cannon returned to a dramatic role for Accused, telling a story about a man grappling with the deadly consequences of AI

In the interview below, Cannon spoke with Deadline about returning to a dramatic role for the first time in more than a decade for Accused, diving into Marcus’ fraught story, grappling with the impacts of artificial intelligence, and more.
