Black Lightning star Cress Williams is blessed and busy.
The Christian actor just booked two new film roles, according to Deadline.
Cress Williams is set to star in The Violent Heart. The film centers around a college-bound senior on the heels of graduation, and her budding relationship with a local mechanic named Daniel, who himself dreams of becoming a Marine.

Williams will play Lee, a strong, jovial Marine and Daniel’s father.
He also has a role in the crime thriller Reckoning. It follows a temperamental, take-no-prisoners tough guy with a terrifying dark side who, despite suffering from leukemia while nursing his dementia-ridden wife, decides to seek revenge on the thieves who have destroyed his life. Williams will portray Billy, a leader of a criminal operation.
