Mike Colter & Viola Davis Are Cousins... And Only Just Met!

Did you know that Mike Colter and Viola Davis are cousins?!

The 43-year-old Luke Cage actor, who stars on the new CBS series Evil, opened up about his famous relative during an interview on The Talk on Thursday (September 26) in Los Angeles.

Even though Mike and Viola are second cousins who were both born in the same town, they didn’t meet until April 2019.

“Honestly, we had never met but our families have family reunions, and they talk about us and stuff. They are very proud of us,” Mike said on The Talk. “We’re just very busy… In LA you could be right next to someone, in the same neighborhood, you’re never home; you’re filming somewhere; they’re busy, life happens. And we just never got caught up… I figured we would just work it out, and we connected, and we just made it happen. Took us about a week. We were like, “Let’s get some coffee and talk,” and I met her mom. Good times.”

Mike Colter Announces Birth of Daughter After 'Luke Cage' Cancellation

“As one door closes, another has opened, with the birth of my 2nd daughter,” Mike Colter announced.

The 42-year-old actor posted about the cancellation of his Marvel and Netflix show, Luke Cage, and also announced that he’s a father to a newborn baby girl!

“Luke Cage represented something more than just entertainment. @MarvelsLukeCage added to our social commentary and made viewers think by challenging the norm and putting out a character that reflected the everyday hero, one with flaws, strengths and everything in between. I am forever grateful to Marvel and Netflix for letting me portray such a prolific character, and thank the amazing fans. As one door closes, another has opened, with the birth of my 2nd daughter. Born this week. A lot of great memories. Time to make more. Always forward, forward always,” Mike posted, along with his daughter’s first public photo.

'Luke Cage' Gets Canceled by Netflix After Two Seasons

Luke Cage has been canceled by Netflix after two seasons.

The cancellation of the Marvel series, which starred Mike Colter, comes just days after the streaming service also canceled Marvel’s Iron Fist.

“Unfortunately, Marvel’s Luke Cage will not return for a third season. Everyone at Marvel Television and Netflix is grateful to the dedicated showrunner, writers, cast and crew who brought Harlem’s Hero to life for the past two seasons, and to all the fans who have supported the series,” Netflix and Marvel Television said in a joint statement.

The move comes as Disney prepares to shift content towards their upcoming streaming services.
