How "The Best Man"'s Cast Are Saying Goodbye to Their Franchise 20+ Years Later

Shortly after Lathan starred in "The Best Man," she booked her next big role: Monica Wright in the classic drama "Love & Basketball." The career-defining role soon led the 51-year-old actor, who's also the daughter of big-time producer Stan Lathan, to other films like "Disappearing Acts" with Wesley Snipes, "Brown Sugar" with Diggs, "Out of Time" with Denzel Washington, and "A Raisin in the Sun" alongside Phylicia Rashad and Sean "Diddy" Combs. Most recently, the seasoned actor made her directorial debut with Paramount+'s "On the Come Up," which premiered at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival.
