NEW YORK, March 19 (UPI) -- The Office and Killing It icon Craig Robinson says it was an honor to play the nemesis of Tracy Morgan's title character in The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins.
"Tracy just has an aura about him. King of the set. He's so confident," the 54-year-old actor told UPI in a Zoom interview this week. "It was awesome to finally work with him."
The Peacock comedy follows Reggie, a disgraced, former pro football player who hires down-on-his-luck filmmaker Arthur (Daniel Radcliffe) to make a documentary about him in the hopes that he can redeem himself in the public eye after a gambling scandal.
Robinson plays Reggie's long-time rival, Jerry, while Heidi Gardner plays Jerry's wife Tisha.
"He got overlooked. He was always better than Reggie, but the Heiseman didn't see it that way and he bested me in some games or whatever. Whatever. But, I'm on top now, so that's what it is," Robinson said of his character, who is now a TV presenter and heads up a successful kids' football camp.
