Queen Latifah plays Robyn McCall/The Equalizer on the TV show. Dana Elaine Owens, later known as Queen Latifah, was born on March 18, 1970, in Newark, New Jersey. Her father was a police officer, while her mother worked as a schoolteacher. While she received her education in a Catholic school, her upbringing was steeped in the Baptist faith.

It was at the tender age of eight that she discovered her stage name, "Latifah," a moniker with Arabic origins meaning "very kind" and "delicate," found within the pages of a book of words. Embracing the title "Queen" coincided with the launch of her rap career. While still in high school, she clinched a talent show victory with the group Ladies Fresh.

In 1987, she entrusted her demo tape to a DJ friend, and within the next year, she secured a record deal. Her inaugural album, "All Hail The Queen," a fusion of house, reggae, and jazz, was unleashed by the Tommy Boy label in 1989. Revered as the "Aretha Franklin of rap," Latifah's acclaim transcended into acting following her debut in Spike Lee's 1991 film, "Jungle Fever." This marked the onset of a series of modest roles, eventually culminating in a role in the ensemble sitcom, "Living Single," within two years. Concurrently, she continued to release chart-topping albums, including "Black Reign," featuring the Grammy-winning single "Unity," and ventured into her inaugural lead role in the all-female bank heist film "Set It Off."

Who is Robyn McCall?

Queen Latifah takes on the role of Robyn McCall, the central character in "The Equalizer." Robyn McCall, a former CIA operative who has gone undercover, now serves as a vigilante for street justice. As a child, Robyn was raised by a loving and wise father. However, tragedy struck when he lost his life, leading Robyn down a troubled path.

Recognizing that there was more to Robyn than met the eye, a compassionate judge offered her a chance to turn her life around. This opportunity led her to enlist in the army and later join the CIA, where she found guidance and mentorship from William Bishop. While at the CIA, she crossed paths with colleagues like Melody Bayani, Harry Keshegian, Mason Quinn, and Jessie Cook, also known as "The Worm."

During a mission, Robyn encountered her future husband, Miles Fulton. They eventually tied the knot and welcomed a child named Delilah Fulton. Due to Robyn's frequent travels, the couple later divorced, but they maintained joint custody of Delilah. To her friends, Robyn's past remains shrouded in mystery, and they know her only as a dedicated single mother leading a seemingly ordinary life. Yet, to the select few she trusts, she reveals herself as the Equalizer, a vigilant force aiding those in need.
