Breaking Baz: ‘Rustin’ star Aml Ameen plots ‘Boxing Day’ sequel and plans to direct an ambitious crime thriller movie. Plus, meeting Barack Obama
We met for lunch back in January at the Pendry in West Hollywood, though our conversations continued when he traveled to London to consult with Roger Charteris and Robert Taylor, his longtime advisers at The Artists Partnership, and to do the “transformative” movie. Ameen says he remains close to both parents and credits his mom for telling him when he landed a series of roles on Thames Television Productions’ long-running The Bill, which he joined as a guest star at 16, followed by a stint playing a criminal. Around the time Ameen was shooting the pilot for what was to become Harry’s Law — it initially was titled Kindreds — he met a group of young guys who would become his posse: Arlando Whitaker, an actor, casting director and producer; Bruce Purnell, his writing collaborator; George Jones, an entrepreneur who works for the Department of Commerce; and TJ Ramini, who played DC Zain Nadir on The Bill.
