Caleb McLaughlin Continues To Act

A life-long “calling” continues for Caleb McLaughlin.

McLaughlin played the role of Dirty Zeke in “The Book of Clarence.” This film is “a bold new take on the timeless Hollywood era Biblical epic,” said Sony Pictures Entertainment. “Streetwise but struggling, Clarence (LaKeith Stanfield) is trying to find a better life for himself and his family, make himself worthy to the woman he loves, and prove that he’s not a nobody.”

Zeke is a friend of Clarence, who drives him around Jerusalem in his own chariot—an early “rideshare” driver.

“How far would you go to prove you’re not a nobody?” the trailer asks.

McLaughlin also starred in “Shooting Stars.” He told The Christian Post at the time, “In this film, we talk about basketball, but I feel like this movie represents life.”

“Basketball is more than a game. It’s about friendship. It’s about a bond. It’s about community. There are a lot of parallels in this film that people don’t see,” he said. “Don’t forget about the people that love you and support you, because you’re going to need them at the end of the day when all else fails, when your back’s against the wall…You’re going to need that person to have your back.”
