and I attribute all the hotness to D. B. Woodside who Plays Malcom Franks a wealthy Jewelry store owner. This man lights up every frame that features him. Single Ladies also stars Stacey Dash, LisaRaye McCoy, and a host of other talented actors. But I have to admit that I am distracted by David Bryan Woodside. Woodside is good eye candy but is not the only good looking cast member. The cast consist of other good lookers like: Common, Pilar Sanders, and Lauren London to name a few others who provide a good look for the show.
Woodside is a talented actor with a large body of work, but I most remember his portrayal of Melvin Franklin in the Temptations (1998), sexy then and sexier now. Forgive me ladies but the spot light is on Malcom Franks. Currently, I am enjoying the show, nice to see a well written scripted show on tv, nice diversion from all of the trash that's on VH1 like Basketball Wives that features one wife and is a whole lot to do about nothing. Looking forward to its demise and cancellation. Sorry Royce, the only person on the show that I did care for, she seems to be more grounded and centered unlike the rest of the cast. Could go on and on but refuse to give anymore time to that joke of a show, Shauney O'Neal is exploiting and taking full advantage, but if the women are willing to sell themselves short for a dollar why not use them.
Back to Malcom Frank and the Single Ladies. I am a fan of LisaRaye and that love scene between Keisha Green and Malcom was steamy but not too hot, gave the viewers just enough without showing too much, which was tastefully done. Don't know if LisaRaye presented her Reality Show "The Real McCoy" to VH1 prior to inking the deal with TV One, if so it truly was VH1's loss and TV One's gain. For what Realty TV is worth, I watched her show and loved the family connection and seeing her regain her celebrity, and shedding the excess baggage of her former husband.
I have digressed again from my focus which is Woodside who has actively worked in television since 1997, unless the tvrage.com information is wrong. However, his Bio is impressive and too long to reference here but worth checking out. VH1 likens his character to Sean Combs not hardly, please, no comparisons needed. Woodside's character Franks stands in the light alone, when it comes to sex appeal, being suave, and charismatic he does not compare to anyone but himself and based on this character, I vote him as one of People's Magazines Sexiest Men Alive. How do I enter his name, is what I want to know?
Kudos to the casting director for casting Woodside and thanks to Queen Latifah and her Production team for joining forces with the show's creature Littlejohn. Ms. Littljohn also specifically wrote and created Keish Green for LisaRaye McCoy. From what I heard, VH1 was not interested in the show because the powers that be felt there wasn't an audience for the show based on demographics. Vh1 wanted a show that appealed to a younger audience. Glad to know VH1 took another look and is given this show a chance, more shows like this are needed, and there is an audience for quality shows featuring African American Actors. Thus far the story lines are good: Political scandal, Affairs, Thievery, Sex, and no alcohol induced Drama.
