Lucas Black, who’s best known for his roles in “The Fast and The Furious” franchise and “NCIS: New Orleans”, took a break from his roles in mainstream entertainment three years ago. Now he’ll be starring in a new Pure Flix film titled Legacy Peak.
In 2019, Black finished working on “NCIS: New Orleans” after 125 episodes when he made the decision to leave the series “to spend more time with family” and connect with his “Heavenly Father.”
He told The Christian Post, “There were plenty of days where I would go to work and they would still be asleep, and I would come home, and they’d be already in bed. The first three seasons … I’d be working 70 hours a week. I’m just fortunate throughout my career, I’ve recognized that that kind of schedule and the way the entertainment business is run, and a lot of temptations that come with it, can be really destructive to families’ lives and your relationship with others.”
Those concerns were some of the reasons why Black decided to step away and take time off to “reflect and rest.” Soon after, he was introduced to the new faith-filled film, Legacy Peak.
The movie is about a man who “wants nothing more than to have his girlfriend’s kids like him. But when a perfectly planned trip to a mountain cabin falls apart, the ensuing adventure could tear them apart or bring them closer than they ever imagined. Together they discover how to trust again and what it means to be a family.”
