Enya Flack currently in her third season in a major guest starring role playing District Attorney Alicia Rodds in Tyler Perry’s hit BET+ show ALL THE QUEEN’S MEN. Her character is bound and determined to bring down Atlanta mobster, Madam Marilyn De Ville, owner and operator of a notorious male strip club and at the helm of a variety of law-breaking ventures.
“She’s not just a typical lawyer; she’s a woman navigating power dynamics in a world full of corruption,” said Flack. “Although she is usually 100% by-the-book, when push comes to shove, her first priority is making sure that justice is served, and she’ll stop at nothing to make sure that happens.”
This season, Enya’s by the book character joins forces with a female detective and finds herself wandering outside the line of ethics in favor of a more under handed approach…all in the service of bringing her target to justice.
“It’s an incredible experience to be a part of a show that dives into such powerful themes, especially with such a supportive cast and crew,” said Flack. “The set is always full of adrenaline and the camaraderie among the cast is amazing. Because of the shooting schedule, there are some scenes where you might only get one take. So, many of the actors make a point to rehearse scenes together independently ahead of time. This encourages creativity and is incredible training for any actor, new or seasoned. Director Armani Ortiz encourages actors to collaborate and take risks and is always great to work with.”
Other recent roles include “Cassie” in Lifetime’s Twisted Sister and “Carson” in A Man’s Promise as well as guest star roles on the popular Netflix series Outer Banks, The Resident, Walker and Dynasty. She plays the iconic role of Harriet Tubman in her latest feature film project, Marbles and Bullets, which recently won best feature film at the Costa Brava (Spain) International Film Festival.
“I’ve always admired strong, smart women and have wanted to play those kinds of characters,” Flack said.
Born and raised in in Charlotte, NC by parents who were both educators, Flack excelled in academics and as well as music, studying classical piano, harp and flute from age 7.
Prior to becoming an actor, Flack passed on a full engineering scholarship to pursue a career in broadcasting, graduating with a degree in Radio and Television Communications from George Washington University, with minors in journalism and music. After working at her hometown ABC-affiliate station for a short time, she decided to make the move to Los Angeles to instead pursue a career in the entertainment industry.
Her early career started behind the camera, as a production secretary at Warner Bros., where she was able to learn the “business side” of the business. Shortly thereafter, Flack began studying acting and found herself auditioning and quickly booking parts on sitcoms like The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, The Wayans Brothers and The Steve Harvey Show. Her first series regular role came when she landed the part of “Brigitte Goodwin” on the UPN series Malcolm and Eddie which was followed by the role of “Veronica” on Roger Corman’s Syfy comic book series Black Scorpion. Additional early credits include projects such as The Sopranos, Ally McBeal, CSI: Miami, NYPD Blue and Homeland to name a very few.
“I’ve always been fascinated by law. In fact, I seriously considered going to law school. In college I would occasionally go to courtrooms and sit in on trials for “fun”. Watching real-life attorneys in action gave me a sense of the confidence and determination I tried to bring to the role,” said Flack.
Enya Flack has also distinguished herself as a highly in-demand host, reporter, model and spokesperson. She has worked as a sports reporter for FOX Sports Net and KCBS-Los Angeles, correspondent for Extra! and E!
