A shout-out to Marcus T. Paulk, a young actor, who stars as David “Deke” Watkins in the film Red Tails. I had the honor of selecting Marcus as the national spokesperson for the Paramount Stations Group Kids are Paramount campaign. Although he was just ten years old at the time, Marcus was already a seasoned pro with appearances and roles in television shows and films such as Me and the Boys, Thea, Grace Under Fire, Martin, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Moesha, Nothing to Lose and One Night Stand. At the conclusion of every quarterly taping of our thirty minute specials on Paramount’s Stage 28 (the Entertainment Tonight set), Marcus would have flowers delivered to yours truly, the executive producer. One could say that Marcus T. Paulk had me as a fan from the very first “It’s a wrap.”
