Miss seeing Rome Flynn on your screen? Well, you’re in luck! The former Bold and the Beautiful star is making a major return to the spotlight, and if you’ve been waiting for his next big move, this is it.
Rome Flynn first captured hearts in 2015 when he took on the role of Zende Forrester Dominguez in The Bold and the Beautiful. With his charm and undeniable talent, he quickly became a fan favorite. However, after two years of romance, drama, and unforgettable moments, Flynn said goodbye to daytime TV in 2017. His departure didn’t go unnoticed—he even won a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Younger Actor in 2018, proving he was destined for bigger things.
While B&B eventually recast Zende with Delon de Metz, Flynn wasted no time making a name for himself outside of the soap world. He landed roles in major TV shows, including How to Get Away with Murder, Raising Dion, Dear White People, and Chicago Fire. But now, he’s stepping into a role that’s bound to turn heads—playing real-life drug lord Frank Lucas in Season 4 of Godfather of Harlem.
The critically acclaimed series, starring Forest Whitaker as mobster Bumpy Johnson, is set to return on April 13th on MGM+. While previous seasons focused on Bumpy’s battles with the New York mafia, this season will introduce Flynn’s character, the young and ambitious Frank Lucas. Flynn has expressed his excitement about taking on the role, diving deep into Lucas’s early years before he became an infamous crime boss. He even gave a nod to Denzel Washington’s portrayal in American Gangster but promised this version would offer a fresh and more complex look at Lucas’s life.
Fans can expect intense clashes between Frank and Bumpy as the two navigate Harlem’s underworld. Flynn teased that his character enters the scene like “a bull in a china shop,” shaking up the status quo. Will Frank prove to be Bumpy’s greatest ally or his deadliest enemy? One thing is for sure—Flynn’s return to TV is going to be unforgettable!
