‘Empire’ Season 2 star Vivica A. Fox is professional, ‘Golden Shoes’ director says

After finishing third in “Celebrity Apprentice” Season 7, Vivica A. Fox is set to have a guest appearance in “Empire” Season 2 and in the film “Golden Shoes.” Recently, the director of “Golden Shoes” complimented the actress.

In an interview with Detroit Free Press, director Lance Kawas said that Fox is “a professional who understands the business,” especially independent films. He also said Fox is always on time.

In addition, Kawas described Fox as a beautiful and artistic actress who knows her lines and knows how to act. The “Golden Shoes” director said that he and Fox get along very well. He also revealed that they will definitely be doing more films.

In September, Fox also received praises from “Empire” Season 2 star Taraji P. Henson, who told Entertainment Weekly that the “Celebrity Apprentice” alum has always been the one she has looked up to. Fox will play Cookie Lyon’s sister in the Fox hit series' sophomore season.

Meanwhile, Fox said that her “Golden Shoes” rule is very different from her roles in the 1196 film “Independence Day” and the 2003 film “Kill Bill,” which she is known for. In “Golden Shoes,” she plays a nurse named Mary.

Fox shared that she always bases the characters she play on somebody she knows. For “Golden Shoes,” she based her character on her mother, who used to work in hospitals and is reportedly very nurturing and strong like Mary.

According to Fox, the first thing that attracted her to “Golden Shoes” was the chance to shoot in Detroit, as she is from the Midwest Indianapolis. She said she loves it when she can make a good film and be close to home at the same time.

“Golden Shoes” is about an eight-year-old boy who aspires to play soccer for the National Youth team and be the next Cristiano Ronaldo. The boy’s father is an MIA soldier and her mother is hospitalised.

Kawas also wrote the screenplay of “Golden Shoes” based on Norman Koza’s story. Joining Fox in the movie are Christian Koza, David DeLuise, John Rhys-Davies, Dina Meyer, Joshua Morrow, Aedin Mincks, John Wesley Shipp, Montel Williams and Eric Roberts, among others.
