This year, joining the cast of STARZ’s “Run The World” in its second season, Lott played the role of “Zeke”, an eclectic Harlem tattoo artist.

But Lott’s prowess isn’t limited to his on-screen charisma. With a keen eye for talent, George is fast becoming one of Atlanta’s sought-after casting directors. It’s not surprising to hear that he’s been chosen to cast the SAG Micro Budget Project, “I’m Fine”. Adding to the project’s allure is the inclusion of executive producers such as the “Fast & Furious” star, Tyrese Gibson, and Chad Chambers. Notably, Timothy Richardson of “B-Boy Blues” is set to helm the camera as the Director of Photography.
