SC State professor lands role in upcoming Tyler Perry productions

“As the Drama Program began to incorporate more TV and film into our curriculum, it was important for us to provide them with up-to-date information about the industry,” she said.

The need to provide her students with accurate industry information drove Robinson to strive for acting opportunities with Tyler Perry Studios.

Robinson’s latest credits include four episodes in the second and third seasons of the television series “Hightown” where she played “Chanise”. She also plays “Linda” in “Tyler Perry’s Divorce in the Black,” which is set to debut on Amazon Prime Video July 11. Robinson is also cast as “Delinda” in another Perry project, the Netflix series, “Beauty in Black,” which is still in production.

“Tyler Perry’s Divorce in the Black,” was her second time working with Tyler Perry Studios but her first directly with Perry.

“It was a dream come true,” Robinson said. “My first day on set I was nervous. What do you do when your dreams come true?”
