Before that, Ruks reached out to his friend Kris Lofton, Power Book IV: Force actor, for advice. He encouraged the reality TV star to pursue acting and not worry about Ceaser Emanuel’s feelings. Later, Ruks was seen FaceTiming Emanuel, informing him that after finishing a lease work in Milwaukee, he would head to Atlanta for a movie premiere. He then invited Emanuel and the entire crew to Atlanta.
