Monday Man-Robert Ri'chard

Welcome to this week's edition of Monday Man.

Today I'm spotlighting rising star Robert Ri'chard.

This young man is best known for his role on the show One On One.

However, he has appeared in My Wife and Kids, CSI: Miami, and Veronica Mars.

But it's his role as the privileged and oppressed Marcel St. Marie in Anne Rice's Feast of All Saints that makes him this week's pick.

Continuing with my feature on cinematic gems filmed in and around New Orleans, Feast of All Saints will satisfy your hunger for heat and hostility.

Set in 19th Century New Orleans, the lives of the gens de couleur libre, or the Free People of Colour are at the center of this tale.

Marcel's birth father, Magloire Dazincourt, the owner of the biggest sugar plantation of the south dies and leaves Marcel, his mother, and sister in the care of his cousin, Philippe Ferronaire (Peter Gallagher).

Soon after Phillippe takes Cecile St. Marie (Gloria Ruben) as his mistress and tells her he will see to Marcel's proper education in Paris.

Will Marcel get to the place he dreams of living?

Watch to see this mixture of lust, power, and prejudice that only the south could create.

Remember to check back for the Wednesday Woman feature on the beautiful lady who plays Marie St. Marie, Nicole Lyn.
