In February 2019, Majors received rave reviews for his performance in Joe Talbot’s THE LAST BLACK MAN STANDING following its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival.
Jonathan will star opposite Jurnee Smollett-Bell in HBO’s straight-to-series drama LOVECRAFT COUNTRY, created by Academy Award winner, Jordan Peele.
The series will follow Majors’ character (“Atticus Black”) as he road trips across 1950’s Jim Crow America.
Next, Majors will begin production on Jeymes Samuel’s directorial debut as outlaw Nat Love in THE HARDER THEY FALL, in which he will star opposite Idris Elba.
A native of Dallas, Texas, and graduate of North Carolina School of the Arts, Jonathan’s extensive stage credits include productions of “Henry V,” “A Raisin in the Sun,” “The Tempest” and several plays by August Wilson, including “Fences” (director, Kenny Leon) and “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” (director, Ruben Santiago-Hudson), both at The Greene Space.
