FALL 2019
it’s 8:45 am on a breezy june day when
Aldis Hodge arrives at Midtown Man- hattan’s Quin Hotel, sans entourage and dressed like he’s just hopped off the back of a Ducati. His low-slung graphic tank, leather jacket, and ripped jeans are cer- tainly appropriate for the weather, but this summer hasn’t exactly been a casual one for the 33-year-old actor.
Hodge has just wrapped the first season of his new Showtime series, City on a Hill, costarring Kevin Bacon and produced by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, and he’s preparing for a full-blown press tour for Brian Banks, a movie in which he plays a high school football player whose life is upended after he’s wrongly accused of a violent crime.After that,it’s three months in Australia to shoot Universal Pictures’ The Invisible Man, based on the H.G.Wells science-fiction classic.And in typical form, Hodge is in a hurry this morning, too. He has just a few hours to spare for Ovation’s fall casual fashion shoot before he’s off again, this time to record voiceovers.
