David Oyelowo & 'Government Cheese' Cast Explain Its Title
Known for playing historical figures like Martin Luther King Jr. (Selma) and Bass Reeves (Lawmen: Bass Reeves) among other dramatic roles (Silo), Emmy-nominee David Oyelowo can also dabble in comedy, let's not forget. That includes his all-new series hitting Apple TV+ on April 16, aptly titled Government Cheese. It's set in Los Angeles County's San Fernando Valley, 1969, and Oyelowo is simply magnificent in a surrealist journey of an ex-con trying to reclaim his family-man status and become a successful entrepreneur. The frenzied character's goals after prison, of course, are easier said than done.
After speaking with Oyelowo for his Lawman: Bass Reeves series, MovieWeb caught up with the acclaimed performer again while he was promoting Government Cheese — and if such a title strikes you, let it be known that the dairy product was a real thing. The real-life commodity was controlled by the U.S. federal government from World War II to the early 1980s.
