Looks like Tyrese Gibson will be appearing on our television screens very soon. The singer has been tapped to play Teddy Pendergrass in an upcoming biopic. In a statement Tyrese says:

“I am honored to take this journey… this is the role that I feel I was born to play. Teddy Pendergrass embraced me and before he passed put the responsibility on my shoulders to tell his story. Being here in this time and in this space and moment with Lee Daniels, Donald De Line, Little Marvin and Warner Bros is an answered prayer. Teddy, I just hope we make you, your wife and family proud… Here we go!!”

Tyrese will be working alongside producer, Lee Daniels. In addition, Pendergrass’ widow, Joan will also be an executive producer.

No release date as of yet. But, we are looking forward to this one!
