M88 has signed actor Jaalen Best for representation.
The outstanding actor is all set for a significant leap as he takes on the role of Cassius Clay (later known as Muhammad Ali) in Amazon’s upcoming series, “The Greatest.” This show, produced by Ben Watkins, who also created the popular Prime Video series “Cross,” delves into the life of this legendary boxer. The story will depict Ali’s experiences both inside and outside the ring, chronicling his journey to becoming the “Greatest Of All Time.
The film titled ‘The Greatest’ was jointly created with the approval of Muhammad Ali’s family estate, and Lonnie Ali, his widow, took on an executive producer role alongside Michael B. Jordan’s production company Outlier Society for this project. It is worth noting that Michael B. Jordan is also represented by M88.
Speaking about Jaalen Best, we’ve discovered an exceptional talent with a soulful touch. Lonnie Ali stated that this remarkable young man isn’t just reminiscent of Muhammad, but also radiates his strength, bravery, charm, and self-assuredness when the series was announced.
As a devoted movie enthusiast, I’m widely recognized for my recurring role as Ryan Craig on the hit series “All American: Homecoming” on The CW. You might have also spotted me in episodes of “Magnum P.I.” or “American Horror Stories.
Beyond M88, Best will also be managed by William Morris Endeavor (WME) and the law firms Goodman, Genow, Schenkman, Smelkinson & Christopher LLP moving forward.
