Picture this: You’re on an airplane, it’s about to crash, and a fellow passenger confesses to you that he is an infamous mob boss who the FBI believes to be dead. But then…the plane lands safely and you now know the deep dark secret of someone who is definitely out to get you. What would you do? For Miles Pope, a budding African-American actor (portrayed by popular English comedian Lenny Henry) in the Touchstone Pictures release, True Identity, the answer is simple: Change his entire identity to protect himself, skin color and all, reveal the crime lord’s secret, and set out to become that great actor he dreams of being.
