Tom Schnabel's Rhythm Planet

Roger Guenveur Smith

Roger Guenveur Smith, star of the one-man show, The Huey P. Newton Story, currently enjoying a one month run at the LATC, will be Tom's guest this Sunday 2/18 @ 1 p.m. on Cafe LA. Like the charismatic, late Black Panther leader, Smith also hails from New Orleans, and his one man show is a dramatic powerhouse. Smith is a veteran actor, star of the acclaimed play Inside the Creole Mafia, and later this year will play Newton in Spike Lee's BET/HBO version of Newton saga.
