About Da’Vinchi:
Da’Vinchi who can next be seen co-leading the cast in the highly anticipated Starz series, “Black Mafia Family” from executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson (Power, Power Book II: Ghost, For Life) Da’Vinchi plays the lead role of the infamous ‘Terry Flenory.’ The show is inspired by the true story of two brothers who rose from the decaying streets of southwest Detroit in the late 1980’s and gave birth to one of the most influential crime families in this country. Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory’s (Flenory Jr.) charismatic leadership, ‘Terry “Southwest T” Flenory’s’ (Da’Vinchi) business acumen and the fraternal partnership’s vision beyond the drug trade and into the world of Hip Hop would render the brothers iconic on a global level. The series is about love, kinship and capitalism in the pursuit of the American dream. The show also stars Russell Horsnby and Michole Briana White. “Black Mafia Family” premieres September 26, 2021 on Starz.
