Draya Michele Talks Debut in TV One Movie!!!

We all know that Draya Michele quit Basketball Wives LA this season, but did you know she landed a role in Will To Love, yup, Draya Michele Talks Debut in TV One Movie.

Since BBWLA cameras are no longer rolling in Draya’s direction, she’s been making moves with two fashion lines and filming her first film role in TVOne’s Will to Love.

Draya finally makes her transition from reality TV star to TV actress. We hope that it works out for her since the transition is a huge step and not all reality TV stars make it.

When Draya was asked about why she decided to take on the role of Candice in Will To Love, she replied saying:

“They sent me the script and asked me if it was something that I’d be interested in being a part of. I read it and I picked the character Candice, the character that I ended up playing, because I felt like she was the most relatable to me and I told them, “Listen, I’m going to read for this and I’m going to audition for this but this character is me.” So, I kinda convinced them and they decided to let me play Candice and it worked out for everybody.”

Michele adds:

“She’s got two personalities that she’s playing in the movie and I feel like everybody’s got two sides to them. There’s like a TV side to me and then there’s an at home, private side to me. I think I could relate to Candice in those ways.”

Draya explains what she brought to her character:

“That was the one thing I was determined to do, I was determined to make the role funnier than it was supposed to be because Candice wasn’t really supposed to be funny and she wasn’t supposed to be ditzy but I wanted her to be ditzy and I wanted her to be funny. I was sure to switch the lines up sometimes to give her a little bit of comedic relief.”

She didn’t forget to thank Chris Stokes for using this movie as a launching pad for her acting career.

Draya says:

“The “Introducing Draya Michele” was the director’s idea. He wanted to take credit and be responsible for putting me in my first movie and I let him have that because he did! So I thank Chris Stokes for that.”
