Filed under: It's All Reel

Ready to more add spice to his film once again, Sofia Vergara has been cast in Tyler Perry's 'Madea Goes To Jail'.

Vergara, who recently appeared in 'Tyler Perry's Meet The Browns' opposite Angela Bassett, will be playing a different character this time around. She will play TT, Madea's cell mate.

Overman, who appeared on Showtime's The L Word, and in the telefilm 'The Little Richard Story', will play Linda, Derek Luke's fiance.

The Lionsgate comedy centers on Madea (Perry), whose penchant for trouble-making lands her behind bars. She comes to the rescue of Candy (Pulliam), a fellow inmate preyed upon by a large woman named Big Sal. Luke is on track to play Joshua, an attorney who has a past with Candy.

Hinds, who was featured in 'Assault on Precinct 13' with Laurence Fishburne, is actually replacing Salli Richardson as the DA of Atlanta and a friend of Derek Lukes'character.

Lee, who has had various TV credits on shows such as 'Sister Sister', 'Moesha' and 'All About The Andersons', will play Chuck, Derek Luke's co - worker and best friend.

Already cast in the film are Tyler Perry, Keisha Knight Pulliam, Derek Luke, David and Tamela Mann, Viola Davis, and Judge Mablean Ephriam.

2. It will be great seeing Ion Overman again. Those of us who are her fans since The L Word have missed her beautiful face.

3. These women are beautiful...looks like Perry's intent in showcasing latino beauties as major characters is a strong attempt to expand his audience...maybe he'll get back to the 'neighborhood' after this one....

4. I absolutely love every last one of this brothers movies.. I will be honest and say that first I didn't give his movies a chance because i "Heard" that they were always bashing males and so forth.. (which showed a lack of judgement on my part and the time) but when I saw his first play, I was instantly a fan... And this is just keepin it real. I have since gotten all of anything tyler has produced, from movies, to plays, and now recording episodes from the House of Paynes.. I am everso confident and I would be able to act my ass off if I were giving the opportunitity to act in one of his plays/ movies...This brothers messages are phenominal! Congrats Tyler, looking forward to this movie
